My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge Novel

Leonor's powerlessness has always defined her existence, but nothing prepared her for the arranged marriage forced upon her by those meant to protect her. Betrayed by her own family in the cruelest ways imaginable, she finds herself bound to Duke Desmond de Montclair—a man whose cold demeanor and disfigured appearance make him an outcast in a kingdom obsessed with beauty.

The Duke's path to power began during wartime, when his impossible battlefield victories earned him the King's favor. Yet despite his extraordinary achievements, his unconventional appearance and harsh personality overshadow every accomplishment. In a realm that worships beauty, Desmond has no place.

Leonor's life at the Duke's side mirrors her past: silence, caution, and suppressed truths. But as the Duke learns of the horrors her family inflicted upon her, transformation begins. His formidable power becomes the instrument through which she might finally claim vengeance. Their connection deepens, offering her something she never expected—understanding.

Then everything shatters. Cornered and desperate, Leonor confesses the impossible: her heart belongs to another. The fragile bond she has carefully built with the Duke crumbles in an instant. Now, her magical abilities and usefulness to him are her only bargaining chips. Can she convince him to keep her, or will she lose everything once more?
