Beau’s story is one of quiet responsibility, unspoken wounds, and an unrelenting sense of duty — to his country, to his children, and to the promises he made long ago. Born and raised in Arbourleigh, Norland’s capital city, Beau carries the legacy of his parents’ ambition and the shadow of his own private tragedies. At 52 years old and 6'2", he stands at the centre of Norland’s political landscape as its Minister of Finance, balancing policy and compromise under the watchful eyes of both allies and rivals.
But behind the public persona lives a man who has lost much. The death of his younger sister, Juliette, when he was just a boy remains an ache beneath the surface, and his failed marriage to Delphine Moreau, Norland’s most carefully curated socialite, adds another layer to his guarded reserve. Through it all, his greatest devotion remains his three children — and protecting what he has left.
When Beau’s path crosses unexpectedly with Merritt Clarke, it stirs something he long believed was no longer possible: the quiet, terrifying hope of what life might still hold.
