Why do all the seemingly nice guys turn out to be mansplainers?Summer Pierce knows how destructive a man can be to her life, which is why she's determined to only date good guys. But when her latest prospect reveals himself as a dick in decent clothing, Summer starts to doubt her ability to distinguish good from bad. Especially when the pierced, tattooed library patron with an aloof attitude ends up supporting her on her darkest day. Then there's the fact that his icy blue eyes have her shivering with pleasure whenever his gaze lands on her. But could letting in a guy with every appearance of a bad boy be a huge mistake?Cole Allemand comes to the public library for the books, but he stays for the librarian. Summer is as bright and warm as her name, and he's determined to convince the woman he's worth her time. Luckily, she seems to have a hero worship for authors, and while Cole works days at a local animal shelter, at night he's putting the finishing touches on his novel. All he needs is a book deal, and the woman he's been crushing on for months will be within reach. Only, Cole finds he can't wait for the publishing world to give him his go ahead, especially when he knows his past in the prison system might sour any attraction Summer has toward him.As Summer and Cole connect outside of the library, bonds form between them. A connection Cole is not above strengthening with all the tools at his disposal, including serialized fantasy stories, adorable cats, and an in-depth understanding of the Dewey Decimal system. When the librarian's safety is threatened by a mysterious stalker, trust becomes the element that could turn their tale into a true romance or tear apart the fragile happy ending.
