The Curious Mountain Man by Casey Cox

I’m a nerdy, neurodivergent librarian who lives a quiet life in the mountains. While out birdwatching one day, I stumble upon a giant of a mountain man bathing in the lake.
Naked.
I manage to run away, hoping he didn’t see me.
And then he shows up at my library.
Something about him lures me in. Sure, he’s tall, bearded, and insanely gorgeous, but there’s a gentle curiosity in his eyes. And when he looks at me, it’s like he’s trying to understand me…
Orrrr maybe I’m imagining it.
Yeah, that’s probably it. I mean, why would a handsome, barrel-chested lumberjack like Branum be interested in a Mr. Plain and Boring like me?
