The Elite Queen's Four Suitors

Elora, a privileged student leader, is pushed down stairs by her stepsister Chloe. Her mother favors Chloe—her secret illegitimate daughter—and threatens to disinherit Elora unless she obtains a recommendation from the Onyx Fraternity. Elora also faces three complicated men: Julian frames her, Thorne blames her, and Silas manipulates public opinion.

Using blackmail and evidence, she uncovers their plots, infiltrates a gala, and survives traps. Chloe and Julian fall publicly, while Silas admits his true feelings. Elora grows from a manipulator into a survivor who learns to tell toxic obsession from real loyalty.
