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…

The Surprises Continue

After eating a breakfast made up of everything Leonor loved, she felt so full she wanted to lay around for most of the day. Even when she was offered lunch, she said she wouldn't be hungry and would have a snack while drinking tea sometime later.

She had been reading romance novels from the library and was eager to see what happened next. It was a guilty pleasure she picked up without romance in her life. She had just a taste of what a world with romance could be like but that was as far as it went. A made-up universe in a novel was good enough for her. 

Finally emerging after an idyllic day of sitting on her balcony and reading, Gideon was the first to see her and told her tea was waiting for her in the garden.

It seemed just as usual until she stepped foot outside and saw someone else sitting in her usual tea spot.
