If your teen can't get enough of Bridgerton and loves a good revenge story, Queen Bee (The Diamonds) is the Regency-era romp they absolutely cannot miss!

Bestselling author Amalie Howard delivers a deliciously dramatic tale of betrayal, disguise, and unexpected romance set against the glittering backdrop of London's elite society. When Lady Ela Dalvi is disgraced and cast aside by her backstabbing best friend, she hatches an audacious plan — disguising herself as a mysterious heiress to infiltrate high society and get her revenge. But when she reunites with the only boy she's ever loved, Ela must decide: finally bring down the queen, or capture the king's heart? Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Count of Monte Cristo, this compellingly clever story is ideal for teens aged 12 and up who love historical romance with a modern, witty edge.

Irresistible Regency Escapism: Amalie Howard's "anti-historical" approach brings the glamour and intrigue of the Regency era to life with a fresh, contemporary voice that feels anything but dusty.
Friendship, Betrayal & Redemption: At its heart, this is a story about the messy, complicated bonds between girls — making it a deeply relatable read for teens navigating their own social landscapes.
Romance Meets Revenge: Equal parts swoony and scheming, Queen Bee perfectly balances heart-fluttering romance with a satisfyingly twisty revenge plot that will keep readers hooked to the very last page.
Award-Recognised Read: Selected as a 2024–2025 Florida Teens Read (FTR) title, this book comes with a stamp of approval from educators and teen readers alike.
