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…

A Week Without Him...

The world they created was idyllic. Not a soul would believe that there wasn't love between the two masters of the Montclair Estate. 

However, in their relationship, there was no intimacy and nothing beyond the friendship Desmond promised when he swore to never touch Leonor. 

As autumn arrived and the duke became busier, it became easier for both of them to ignore this part of their relationship. They wouldn't have awkward lingering moments where Leonor sought affection he felt he couldn't give her. 

Before cold weather befell them, Desmond was gone for many days in a row. His absence was felt so dearly by Leonor. It made her realize just how much she had been relying on him for the past months since they were married.
