We were lucky, all of Elise’s tests came back clear. With her coming so early, so many things were much scarier than I expected. So much could have gone wrong.
“And when will the princess be accepting visitors?”
“You and Drex are welcome anytime.” I can’t hold back my smile, but no ones around to see it. Things had changed so much over the past year, and I knew that had everything to do with Anastasia.
We’d only been home for a solid twenty-four hours and Ana was already delegating wedding planning to me. I took the challenge with gusto. I knew Anastasia was exhausted, but she also wanted to be there as much as possible for our little Elise.
Zedd had called while I was trying to make decisions on cake toppers and table centrepieces. I wanted everything to be perfect and it was starting to give me anxiety. I didn’t know how Ana had managed to do so much work on the wedding while we were taking over from Kaleb and all the while she was pregnant. She was truly a remarkable woman.
So, we finally had our princess, now I just needed to make her mother my queen.
THE END
Dear Readers,
Thank you so much for joining me on this journey. I hope you enjoyed the ride. Nikolai and Anastasia have been dancing around my mind for about eight months, it’s been bliss to let their story be heard. For everyone asking if there will be any spin offs from The Crown Duet, the short answer is yes. I have loved this world and when the time is right, I will be diving back into it.
As I always say, I have endless ideas and loads of WIPs. If you’d like to learn about all my upcoming releases, head on over to my social media pages or alternatively, check out my website for updates.
I’d also like to give a shout out to my behind the scenes team. Writing can be incredibly hard at times, especially when there are other things going on in not only your life, and the world in general. BMQ would haven’t been possible without the support and motivation, and SHOUTY TEXTS from my Spoiler Group. Thank you for standing by me, and for reading whatever I put in front of you. You guys are legends!
To my editor, formatter, and cover designer; you ALL played a brilliant part in bringing my vision of Be My Queen to life. I couldn’t have done this without you.
Again, a massive THANK YOU for reading the conclusion of The Crown Duet. I’d love to hear your thoughts, if you have the time please leave a review.
Until next time,
Chelsea xo

I thought I knew Melody O’Connor but I had no idea that she was hiding her night life from me. If someone had told me that Melody, my sweet Mel, was a stripper for a club downtown? I would’ve laughed in their faces and said they were out of their minds. On a night out, I finally caught her tangled in an intricate web of lies. She was a deer caught in headlights, too scared to move. I waited for an explanation but it never came, so I high-tailed it out of there.
As I walked away that night, I half expected her to chase after me. But she didn’t.
The next time I see Melody, she’s different. Despite it being my big night, my feelings for her are still there. A desire begins to stir to life inside of me, it’s dark and dormant and ready to consume me if I let it. Maybe it’s a mistake, it definitely should’ve been but I was too far gone to care.
Melody O’Connor.
I’d learnt my lesson and his name was Callum Wright. Don’t ever pretend to be someone you’re not, it will only come back to bite you in the ass. All it took for that life lesson to sink in was the sight of Callum’s back as he walked away from me and right out of my life for good. He’d caught me in a lie and I was too scared to tell him the truth, scared that he’d hate me. So instead, I said nothing. I was so in love with him, that I’d rather have lost him then have him hate me.
It took time to pick myself up and move forward, but as hard as I tried I couldn’t ever move on from him.
The next time he walks into my life, I’m not prepared. I’d worked so hard on suppressing my emotions and moving forward with my life, but one glimpse of him and everything comes roaring to the surface. I knew it was wrong, so I tried to resist but he wouldn’t let me.
