Heart Me Up A Bent Oak, Texas - Bix Barrow

Foster: Most cops would say flirting immediately after you've flashed your badge at a guy is a bad idea. 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 this 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 not-even-a-relationship ended badly. Like, go-to-therapy-for-two-years 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.

Running into Foster and helping him get out of his blind date reminds me how much I miss going out and having fun. And kissing. Really, the kissing.

I think I'm ready to risk my heart and date again. But is Foster ready for the reputation he gets around the police station after my dog collar stunt? And am I ready to have his PITA grumpy best friend move into my guest room with no end date? And are either of us ready for how fast this relationship is moving?

One thing I know for sure is that neither of us are ready for the guy with a gun in my house.

Heart Me Up is a 62k MM romance filled with meddling friends, hurt/comfort, game nights, an uncomfortable couch, and dog accessories not used for their intended purposes.

Heart Me Up takes place before the events in the rest of the Bent Oak, Texas series and can be read as a standalone.
