Lady Ela Dalvi is back and she’s here to serve up some cold, calculated revenge. After her ex-bestie Poppy sabotaged her reputation and got her shipped off to finishing school, Ela’s ready to make a triumphant return. Disguised as a mysterious heiress, she’s got her eyes set on reclaiming her place in high society until a certain charming marquess complicates her plans.

Look, this isn’t a literary masterpiece, it’s a deliciously fun, easy read that feels like indulging in your favorite guilty pleasure. I loved the anti-historical vibe, much like Bridgerton, but without the spice, and with plenty of drama, sass, and a satisfying HEA.
