?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.
