My friend’s hot older brother agrees to play tour guide for me in Paris, so I know I’m in for the trip of a lifetime. The best part is that Arsène is a shameless flirt who gives my vivid imagination all kinds of naughty ideas. My lack of a filter always gets me into trouble, but at least this time it’s the fun kind.
Going home alone with a broken heart as a souvenir would suck. I’d rather return to America with a gorgeous French boyfriend instead.

When I agreed to babysit my younger brother’s American friend, he warned me not to break Felix’s heart. I never expected to be the one in danger of falling in love. But Felix is a cute and charming smart-ass, which is an irresistible combination to me.
If he offers to play tour guide next, I just might follow him across the ocean in search of a happily ever after.

Full of cute sweetness and sexy fun, every story ends with a satisfying HEA and no cliffhangers. Each book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Chapter 3: Felix Murphy
“Thanks for walking me to my hotel. I would have gotten lost on my own,” I said.
Arsène looked up at the sky with a beautiful smile. “It is a lovely night for a walk, non?”
He may have been searching for the stars, but I couldn’t stop looking at his handsome face. Even in profile, he was stunningly gorgeous. It was like being on an evening stroll with Prince Charming. “It sure is. Everything has been perfect today.”
“I am glad you are enjoying your stay here.”
That was an understatement. “Only because you’ve been an amazing tour guide. This beats the hell out of being lost and frustrated.”
His chuckle sent shivers quaking through me. “That is encouraging to hear.”
“So, speaking of things that have nothing to do with that: when do I get to hold up my end of our bargain? I feel bad I’ve taken so many selfies of us together, but you haven’t taken any of me.” Well, I said I felt bad, but I was still over the moon I had so much evidence of the best day and kisses of my life. A better person might have felt guilty, but fuck that shit.
“We will have plenty of time for that later. Today, I wanted you to focus on enjoying this beautiful city.”
It was a touching show of consideration. “Thanks for that. Does that mean your studio is part of the tour? Because I’d really like to see it.”
“Oh?”
I tried to think of a reason that didn’t sound creepy to justify my interest. “Well, you said it was famous. It seems like it should be on the itinerary.”
“Oui, I did say that.” He grinned, making me fucking swoon again. Damn it, nobody should be that attractive! “That can be arranged.”
Excitement bubbled up inside me, but I tried to keep my cool. “Great, I’d love to see where the magic happens.”
“I was unaware that my bedroom was on your list of landmarks to visit.” His devilish smirk set my lust aflame, causing me to stumble. I flushed when he reached out to steady me, his hand lingering on me longer than was strictly necessary, sending my heart racing.
My horniness got the better of me. “Well, my goal is to see all that Paris has to offer.”
His voice was a sensual purr as he leaned closer to ask, “And what are you hoping my bedroom will offer you?”
“A good time?”
“Ah, but I can offer you a good time anywhere.”
I flashed a cheeky grin, thriving off the banter. “Promise?”
“We shall see.” He gave me a flirty wink that sent my hormones into a tizzy. Was it really so wrong I wanted to bang him like a pinky toe against a coffee table?

Even though we just met, it would be stupid to run away from love when all signs point to him being the one, right?
