I read this book in 2015, so it was probably published around that time or a few years before. The book was about a society where the elite or royalty were able clone people who had an untimely death. One of the main characters was a prince, and the other character was the girl he was engaged to (she wasn’t a princess but she was from an elite family). The book starts with the prince’s clone who quickly figures out he had died. The cloned prince tries to keep this a secret and only tells his fiancée. They begin to investigate, but the main person the prince wants to ask is his secret boyfriend who had run away the day of the prince’s murder. In their search to find him, the prince and the girl undercover this rebel group that was against the elite and royalty. Through the group, they find the prince’s boyfriend who knows who killed the prince. SPOILER BELOW. I think each book in the series started with the same letter (possibly R).




(view spoiler)[The killer was the king, the prince’s father (hide spoiler)]

Replica, by Jenna Black; and the sequels Resistance, and Revolution?

"Sixteen-year-old Nadia Lake's marriage has been arranged with the most powerful family in the Corporate States. She lives a life of privilege even if she has to put up with paparazzi tracking her every move, every detail of her private life tabloid fodder. But her future is assured, as long as she can maintain her flawless public image—no easy feat when your betrothed is a notorious playboy.

Nathaniel Hayes is the heir to the company that pioneered human replication: a technology that every state and every country in the world would kill to have. Except he's more interested in sneaking around the seedy underbelly of the state formerly known as New York than he is in learning to run his future company or courting his bride-to-be. She's not exactly his type…not that he can tell anyone that.

But then Nate turns up dead, and Nadia was the last person to see him alive.

When the new Nate wakes up in the replication tanks, he knows he must have died, but with a memory that only reaches to his last memory back-up, he doesn't know what—or rather, who—killed him.

Together, Nadia and Nate must discover what really happened without revealing the secrets that those who run their world would kill to protect."
