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 Duchess' Birthday

The summer went on and the temperatures started to rise to what Leonor was more familiar with during that season. She returned to Piedmont despite all of the intense situations that place seemed to bring her.

She was always amused to see people calling the temperature a heat wave even though she could wear long sleeves and be perfectly comfortable. On the coast where she grew up, it was so much warmer than it was in Montclair.

While the summer warmed, so did the feelings in the Montclair Estate.

After causing a scene in the tea house, a switch flipped within Leonor and she started to return the care the duke gave her. For over a month, he cared for her without expecting anything in return. She was determined to be a caring wife even if she couldn't give him the love he deserved.
