The Bachelor Sage

Edward Sage has spent two decades crafting his exile in Paris, France—a glittering world of champagne, artistic salons, and curated pleasures, far from his father’s suffocating control and Boston’s rigid expectations.
But when tragedy strikes, his world crumbles, forcing him back to Beacon Hill and the society he fled.

In early 20th-century Boston, reputation is currency and desire is dangerous. Edward returns to a family ruled by a powerful, wealthy patriarch—and to an ultimatum designed to break him: submit to a forced marriage, or face ruin. Trapped between duty and survival, Edward must navigate the treacherous rituals of Boston’s elite while confronting the man he’s become… and the life he refuses to surrender.

And then there is him—the one temptation Edward can’t afford. In a world that punishes truth, their connection becomes both refuge and risk: a forbidden M/M romance where every glance carries consequence, and every choice threatens scandal.
