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…

Flower Picking

A new sense of normalcy. 

Secrets no longer hanging over their heads fostered a more comfortable environment in which Desmond and Leonor thrived. 

As much as the duchess wanted to push his buttons and test the bounds of their new relationship, she was holding back a lot for his sake. 

While they were more comfortable than before, he still had walls she was trying to scale.

So far, he hadn't been willing to remove his hood except for the time she touched his scars in the garden.

That night was progress enough. She swore to be patient even though his closeness made her want far more. 

Considering he was still a bit stiff around her, she had to appreciate just how much he cared for her to value her opinion. It was all she had until he allowed her to go further.
