The son of a general, Trent Green is the only one in the family not on a fast track military career, so he does the only thing he knows he will be a success at and joins the Corp, where he literally falls into the lap of the man of his dreams. Noah Wilson is sweet, honorable, and he takes Trent's heart with his blazing smile. Noah is also part of a religious sect that lives simply...very simply, with no electricity, no television, no dirty movies, and a lot of rules. When Trent goes home with Noah on leave, the two men take their friendship up a level to the physical, discovering quickly that their feelings are deeper than they had realized. The young Marines have fallen in love. Trent hopes the two of them can make something happen; that is, until the 'accident' which keeps him constantly broke, with no money to see a base run movie, much less pay his bus fare to Noah's duty station. When a conniving bartender offers Trent the chance to make some fast and easy (easy with BIG strings attached...) money, the young Marine makes a 'Gift of the Magi' type decision that tears the lovers apart. Devil Dogged brings together a general, a colonel, a conniving bartender, and two Marine privates who go through mental and emotional battles to see if their love can survive while serving time as Marines.
