âNothing gets me to the bookstore faster than a new novel by Eloisa James.â
âJulia Quinn
New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James gives the classic Hans Christian Andersen story of âThe Ugly Ducklingâ 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, âis truly scrumptious.â A sexy and fun historical romance, Jamesâs winning tale of a glorious reawakening does not feature ducks and swansârather itâs 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 friendâŚuntil now.
