The first rule in the best friend handbook clearly states that little sisters are off limits.
It's a rule I broke when I gave Bridget Russell her first kiss. One I kept breaking as we snuck around for years in a secret relationship.
The guilt eating me alive was only compounded when her brother's dying wish was that I always look out for her.
Because we've already established I'm the world's worst friend, I didn't keep that promise.
Nearly a decade later, Bridget and I bump into each other when I'm fresh off a divorce.
And the next thing I know, she shows up at my house in the middle of the night, hurt and scared, begging me to take her in.
Living under the same roof, I'm quickly reminded why I wasn't able to resist her all those years ago.
This time, I'm determined to keep her forever.

Flashback for the Forward is the second book in the San Diego Surf Hockey series, but can be read as a standalone.
