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…

Hidden in the Garden

The food in the Montclair Estate was always delicious. All Desmond asked for when hiring a new chef was a specialist in the ways of traditional Montclarian food. He wanted to expand his horizons. He hadn't experimented much with food since he was a child. Stew was a staple at the orphanage. 

For once, the duke pushed around his lunch as he waited to see the outcome of Gideon giving Leonor tea in the garden. She could very well refuse but he hoped that she wouldn't. She would be closer than she was while looking out the window and he wanted to see if she was happy. 

He was tempted to give in and move on to other pressing work, but he saw the inner door at the hard of the u-shaped estate open and Leonor followed Gideon out to the pergola that stood a short distance down the brick pathway. 

His appetite suddenly returned as he watched her get settled in.
