The Frog Duke

The Frog Duke is the first book in The Ugly Faerie Chronicles. Join an ugly faerie as she tries to break the curse that is on her by helping other fairy tale couples find true love. Her ways are not always conventional and even less wanted, but she will stop at nothing if it means she can break the curse on herself.

When wishes are granted by the Ugly Faerie, what can go wrong?

Poor Lord Francis, the handsome Duke of Palms, is a frog. Green, small, and swimming in a secluded pond to keep his skin moist, he only needs his true love's kiss to become human again. But how is he to get that when the woman he pines for can't even stand to look at him?
Princess Colette can't seem to win the respect of those at court and in an effort to escape, ends up at her favorite pond where she is hoping to find peace and quiet for a few moments. As if things weren't bad enough at the palace, an incident occurs at the pond that leaves her shackled to a less than courteous amphibian who claims to be her childhood friend.
The two are an unlikely pair. Francis is at the mercy of Colette as she finds unusual ways to get him a kiss from his true love. But Colette has other reasons for wanting to get rid of the creature that now dines from her dish and lives in her palace. Though he eats flies, she's falling in love with him and he's completely oblivious to her feelings.
Can Francis earn the love he so desires and turn back into a handsome duke? Or will he stay a frog forever? Time is running out and the only help he has is a princess whose odd ways are causing him to second-guess his feelings.
