Queen Bee is the historical romance of the season, filled with vengeance and wit. Ela, freshly graduated from a harsh girls’ school, has concocted a plan to infiltrate and destroy London’s elite circle after being ruined by salacious lies and jealousy. Ela has disguised herself as a wealthy heiress with dyed hair, a new name, and a prestigious benefactor, and she is taking the season by storm, all with the goal to take down Poppy, her former best friend turned tormentor. What starts out as a mission for revenge, quickly gets complicated as friendships blossom and an unlikely romance starts sizzling with Lord Keston. This novel shows what colonial life would have been like had conquered countries been granted opportunities for equality. It has all the appeal and draw of Downton Abbey with Asian and African influences.
