Step into the smoky, vibrant heart of 1970s Montreal, where Delphine: The Heat of a Rebel Year unfolds like a fever dream of lust, longing, and youth on fire.
When Delphine St-Laurent, a radiant literature student with a bold spirit and a suitcase full of dreams, arrives at McGill University, she's chasing more than just education-she's chasing freedom. Her blond waves and fierce independence light up the dorms, bars, and dance floors of a city pulsing with rebellion and desire.
There she meets Sebastien Dubois, a charming commerce major with a glinting chain, a wild streak, and a Camaro that growls like thunder. And Christophe, a quiet, observant engineering student whose gentle presence hides a fierce devotion. Together, they form a trio that defies convention-bound by trust, charged with passion, and lit by the electric glow of first freedom.
From sticky backyard barbecues to snowy rooftops, punk shows, disco-lit hallways, and secret dorm-room dares, their story unfolds over a single unforgettable year. Through every risk, kiss, and whispered promise, Delphine discovers that desire isn't shameful-it's a language. A rebellion. A way to belong to yourself.
Inspired by real Montreal summers, Elise Black's debut novel blends poetic, literary prose with emotionally driven erotica. Told in Delphine's lyrical voice, this is a story of bodies and boundaries, of love that doesn't fit into neat boxes, and of a young woman who learns that intimacy can be wild, safe, and transformative-all at once.
? Trust-driven, explicit intimacy ? Retro Canadian setting (vinyl, Gauloises, dorm beds) ? Sensuality without shame ? Emotionally complex characters ? Coming-of-age meets coming-of-skin
Perfect for readers of literary erotica, romance, and nostalgic, character-led stories about love that breaks the rules.
Because sometimes, the greatest liberation is to say yes.
