  World War I caused many young men from America to leave their homes and travel into the great big world out there.  By the many thousands they traveled by bus and train from tiny villages in every state to the big cities and then they rubbed shoulders with other men from a variety of cultures and beliefs.  Then they travelled more than in their wildest dreams, across oceans to Europe.  When returning they were different boys and men, much more worldly and knowing.  But what about their girl friends that were left behind?  They stayed in the tiny towns and stayed provincial so that when their boyfriends returned they felt very inadequate.  This story is about an ordinary girl and boy caught up in this situation and how learning to say "a piece of bread" in French can make all the difference in a girls confidence about life and love.

  Beasts, battles, brotherhood, and breaking bonds are just a few terms that apply to this gripping young adult saga! Grogin's death has brought peace . . . at least that's what everyone thought. Armed with the twisted Dreamer's cane and a hunger for wanting his name spread, Grey poses a much larger threat. With his Otherworlder at his side, villages are being brought to their knees, whole peoples are being slaughtered, and old friendships are dying, withering away to nothing but ash and ruin. Decisions need to be made, and Fiske feels as if he must make them all himself. But with past alliances and current pacts alike coming to his aid, he has a new family to protect, even if it means killing the old one he had with Grey. Try as he may to mend the bond he had with the young Northman, there is nothing more to do then end the terror . . . and he knows only one of them will survive the aftermath.

  Does a police interview count as a meet cute? Asking for a friend... 
  FOSTER 
  It’s not quite protocol to start flirting right after you’ve flashed your badge at a guy. But I can’t resist Craig, the pet resort owner I’ve come to interview. I mean, look at him in his wet jeans and…is that dog hair all over his chest? 
  I’m dying to ask him out, but first I have to do a favor for my great aunt—okay, she bribed me—and go on a blind date with the grandson of her frenemy. 
  But guess who shows up to rescue me with an outrageous cover story and a rhinestone dog collar? 
  CRAIG 
  My last excuse for a relationship ended badly. Like, I-needed-two-years-of-therapy badly. But I can’t stop thinking about the hot cop who told me to call him if I had any questions. 
  Trust me, he meant those italics. 
  When I see an opportunity to save Foster in his hour of need, I decide to go hard or go home. And it pays off — big time. 
  But even if I’m ready to risk dating again, is Foster ready for the reputation my little stunt has given him? And when our lives (and bodies) start to get tangled, are either of us ready to let our hearts get involved? 
  One thing I know is neither of us are ready for the guy with a gun in my house... 
  Heart Me Up is a low-angst MM romance filled with meddling friends, hurt/comfort, game nights, suspense, one very uncomfortable couch, and the creative use of dog accessories... 
  This story takes place before the events in the rest of the Bent Oak, Texas series and can be read as a standalone.
