Sweden, 1815. A tale of secrets, survival, and the high-stakes games women play behind the throne. For a young countess named Jacquette, winning means losing everything that matters.

In Butterfly Games, Kelly Scarborough crafts a work of historical fiction that feels as lavish as it is perilous. The book leans into the elegance of Bridgerton, the stately tension of The Crown, and the shadowy power plays that recall Game of Thrones. . . . Scarborough possesses a gift; she draws readers into this world with deceptive ease.”—Literary Titan, 5-star review

Kelly Scarborough worked for more than two decades as a law firm partner and white-collar prosecutor, but her real passion is reading and writing biographical historical fiction about fascinating women navigating love, politics, and power in European history. Her debut novel, Butterfly Games, is inspired by her visits to Swedish castles and archival research. Kelly lives in Madison, Connecticut and Bluffton, South Carolina.
