Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: Lillian C. Williams writes heartwarming stories about women (and sometimes androgynes!) falling in love. Born in the pastoral countryside of northeastern Carlan, she now lives in Metamor City, where she teaches history at Empire University.
An expert in the Progressive Era (1890–1940 CR) of the Empire of Metamor, Dr. Williams began writing historical fiction at the age of forty-one, when a prolonged illness forced her to take a sabbatical from teaching. She is fascinated by the rapid societal transformations that gripped the Empire at the turn of the twentieth century, and hopes that her books will educate as well as entertain.
When she is not writing, teaching, or conducting research, Dr. Williams enjoys hiking, horseback riding, and dancing the tango with her partner Isabela. She is often seen in the company of her cat, a large orange tabby named Marmalade.

Honor Tested (#2)
Honor hin’Bellvue is a young lady from a minor noble house—with a newly-discovered submissive streak that aches to be satisfied. Natasha Volkova is an army veteran, a commoner, a foreigner—and a dominant, whose commanding persona can reduce Honor to a quivering puddle of need. Thrown together by a twist of fate, these two very different women surprised and delighted each other with their unexpected liaison—but they never thought it would be more than a fling. Honor is expected to marry another member of the nobility, and the horrors of war have left Natasha ill-equipped to make lasting emotional attachments.
But everything changed when Honor’s father hired Natasha to be her companion and bodyguard. Now that they’re stuck with one another, the women must decide what to do about it—and whether the benefits of continuing their “arrangement” outweigh the risks of getting caught.
Meanwhile, Honor is moving ahead with a courtship better suited to her station. Alix hin’Townsend is the scion of a noble house, a charismatic dreamer with big ideas for the Empire’s future. As an androgyne—a shapeshifter who can take on male or female attributes at will—Alix could satisfy Honor’s need for a feminine partner while also meeting society’s expectations that a noblewoman should bear children. But as their relationship deepens, Honor begins to question whether she and Alix even want the same things.
Honor’s situation is further complicated by the involvement of Alix’s mother, who is deeply enmeshed in a growing struggle for women’s rights. Keeping the Townsends happy could mean putting herself into the middle of a political firestorm—one that has the risk of exposing Honor and Natasha’s forbidden love.
Honor Reclaimed (#3)
Honor hin’Bellvue, a young lady from a minor noble house, has found her life changing in ways she never could have expected. Her companion and bodyguard, Natasha Volkova, is a powerful dominant who has awakened Honor’s need for submission and service. Their new friend Alix, a noble scion and asexual romantic, may offer the perfect chance for them to continue their “arrangement” under a cover of social respectability. And by joining a new women’s rights movement among Metamor’s nobility, Honor is staking a claim for control over her own destiny.
But the push for progress often provokes a backlash, and Honor and Natasha soon find themselves caught in the crossfire. Eager to prove herself to her new allies, Honor goes on a fact-finding mission deep in enemy territory. There she uncovers a sinister plot to roll back the Progressives’ cause by any means necessary—and the only person she can look to for help is her greatest rival.
Meanwhile, Natasha joins Alix in their quest to help the Empire’s military veterans, millions of whom are scarred in mind and body after the recent war. But Natasha’s own hands are far from bloodless, and when an old foe exposes the sins of her past, it threatens to ruin her reputation and drive her away from the woman she loves.
Besieged by enemies new and old, Honor and Natasha face the ultimate test of the bond that unites them. Both women must forge new alliances, and find new reserves of strength and courage within themselves, to forge a better future for themselves … and for each other.
