My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

Quinn's World

At the Academy, Leonor took pride in having a clutter-free space that was devoid of overly luxurious pleasantries. She didn't want her time there to be about her father. 

If her room was to be overly decorated then it would be because her father was trying to save face. Considering her room at Burien Manor was an empty space full of bad memories, she didn't want to live a lie or live beyond her true means. 

The nicest thing she kept around was her mother's jewelry box which sat on one of her shelves full of only textbooks otherwise. Occasionally there was an item or two added from her various studies or projects. 

She knew that most people took these projects home to impress supportive parents but that was not her reality. Everything she did was for herself and as a reminder that she could do anything if she put her mind to it.
