  Nellie Belanger and JP Marchand have the perfect arrangement 1. She comes to Montreal 2. He makes sure she comes when she’s in Montreal. 3. That’s it. Despite missing out on her life-changing internship and committing herself to a summer of social obligations and stuffy events so she can afford to finish her final year of university, Nellie’s feeling pretty lucky.

  There are three things you need to know about Nellie Belanger: She hates apologizing. She loves exploring her sensuality. She absolutely does not want a serious relationship with anyone… extra emphasis on “one.” Which is why no one can ever find out about that one sizzling afternoon she spent in JP Marchand—aka her best friend’s brother’s—bedroom three years ago. After a chance encounter with her former professor, the semi-reserved and gorgeously attractive Ben, becomes unexpectedly steamy, Nellie thinks she’s in for the summer of a lifetime. But when she offends the wrong person with her joyfully promiscuous attitude, it looks like three years of irritatingly flirty attempts to get her to call him are going to pay off for JP. At least, until an ill-advised promise backfires and leaves her at odds with the one person who could ruin everything: her increasingly demanding and image-obsessed father. Kiss Me If You Can is a spicy new adult romance with both best friend’s brother and ...

  Nellie Belanger never intended to start university as a virgin. But even though she’s determined to have her first time before the summer is over, she has two requirements: 1. She doesn’t want to end up in a relationship. 2. She wants it to be a little more special than “we met at a nightclub and I’m pretty sure your name starts with an N.” Which shouldn’t be that hard to find… right? After all, all she wants is a no-strings-attached hook up that isn’t completely anonymous. Someone who she can have fun with and who won’t spread rumours about her. Someone who would be a bit more memorable than a generic guy in a backwards hat that looks completely different once they step out of the dim lighting of a bar. Someone who knows what he’s doing so her first time won’t suck as much as everyone says the first time does. Someone kind of like the boy next door, her best friend’s older brother with the great smile and reputation for sleeping around. And who just so happens to be the guy she’...
