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…

Realities of Travel

The path was precarious, so much so that Leonor was grateful she wasn't leading a horse through all of it. While there were mental scars from what happened to her with the horse a few years prior, even the most experienced horse rider would have trouble on such a trail. 

Yet the expression on the soldiers and officers around her gave nothing away of the struggle. They all seemed confident in their abilities and duties to ensure the ducal family got from one place to another without issue. 

Leonor was grateful for Desmond's way of governing his men. Even the poisonous reputation of the count wasn't enough for them to be sour toward Leonor. Because Desmond treated her well, they would do the same. It was never more complicated than that.
