How can she dare to imagine he loves her . . . when all London calls her The Ugly Duchess?
Theodora Saxby is the last woman anyone expects the gorgeous James Ryburn, heir to the Duchy of Ashbrook, to marry. But after a romantic proposal before the prince himself, even practical Theo finds herself convinced of her soon-to-be duke's passion.
Still, the tabloids give the marriage six months.
Theo would have given it a lifetime . . . until she discovers that James desired not her heart, and certainly not her countenance, but her dowry.
Society was shocked by their wedding . . . and is scandalized by their separation.
Now James faces the battle of his life, convincing Theo that he loves the duckling who blossomed into the swan.
And Theo will quickly find that, for a man with the soul of a pirate, All's Fair in Love—and War.

The ugly duchess
5By Seume CliasenI really love this book.Beautifully weitten!
5By ArdeeHLovely and reaffirming.Loved it.
5By Bombs tearLoved it!!Odd ending
3By Jenni143I thought the overall story was good but the last few chapters brought a everything to a rather abrupt and weak resolution. The author spends a lot of time throughout the book building the characters history, the relationships that defined both of them but in the end, she ended the story before either found true fulfillment. I think the author could rewrite the ending and make it not just about coming back and making amends with his wife but to rebuild the lifetime of trust between the two heroes. That is an ending I would love to read.❤❤❤❤👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

5By ErinEli28Eloisa James has made fairy tales fun again for adults. I do believe that James has become my favorite hero (although I do love Lucius and Piers and Rafe and Mayne - well you get the picture). The relationship between Theo and James is super sweet and had me rooting for them at every turn. Well worth the wait! Thank you Eloisa :)Another masterpiece :)
