"Eloisa James is extraordinary."
--Lisa Kleypas
"Nothing gets me to the bookstore faster than a new novel by Eloisa
James."
--Julia Quinn
New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James gives the classic Hans
Christian Andersen story of "The Ugly Duckling" a wonderful, witty, and
delightfully passionate twist. The Ugly Duchess is another fairytale
inspired romance from the unparalleled storyteller whose writing, author
Teresa Medieros raves, "is truly scrumptious." A sexy and fun historical
romance, James's winning tale of a glorious reawakening does not feature
ducks and swans--rather it's a charming story of a young woman unaware
of her own beauty, suddenly duty-bound to wed the dashing gentleman who
has always been her platonic best friend...until now.
