Overview

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 Sébastien 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. ""Desires tangle where our pulses meet."" Trigger & content notes: This novel contains explicit sexual content, group intimacy, and emotionally intense scenes. All encounters are consensual and communication-focused. Recommended for readers 18+.
