About this audiobook
A young woman seeking retribution against her backstabbing best friend finds her plans derailed once she reunites with the only boy she’s ever loved—a delightful second chance romance with the vibe of Bridgerton, from a USA Today bestselling author!
“A divine dip into Regency waters! What happens when you have to choose between revenge and love? Queen Bee takes flight.” —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wish You Were Here
Revenge is her opening move. Love might be the endgame.
Lady Ela Dalvi knows the exact moment her life was forever changed—when her best friend, Poppy, betrayed her without qualm over a boy, Lord Keston Osborn, heir to the Duke of Harbridge. She was sent away in disgrace, her reputation ruined.
Nearly three years later, eighteen-year-old Ela is consumed with bitterness and a desire for . . . revenge. Her enemy is quickly joining the crème de la crème of high society while she withers away in the English countryside.
With an audacious plan to get even, Ela disguises herself as a mysterious heiress and infiltrates London’s elite. But when Ela lays eyes on Keston once again, she begins to question whether vengeance is still her greatest desire.
In this complicated game of real-life chess, Ela must choose her next move: Finally bring down the queen or capture the king’s heart?

A cute story more of a YA but fun regardless. It is funny how when you are young, your life can be ruined so easily. Thus was the fifteen year old life of Lady Ela, who because of her best friend was banished to the country. A few years later and having remade herself into "new heiress" with a new name and presents herself to the ton. Fun read in finding that revenge is not always the best way to bring yourself back!
