Close Companions
A thoroughly modern take on queer romance in the Regency era. Charlotte and Willa are young women on the cusp of being presented to society, yet neither is particularly interested in the life that’s expected of them. When they’re paired for painting lessons, they find kinship in their shared independent streak and pay more attention to each other than the feminine arts. As they grow closer, they get bolder in the risks they’ll take to be together…
