When he returns to Colorado after a year-long deployment, the last thing he expects is to reconnect with his best friend's younger sister.
Sarah is sweet, sassy, and so off-limits.
But Sarah has a secret and Chris has a feeling she's going to need his help.
Can he convince her to let him be the hero he was meant to be?

Hey CutieFrog. Guess it’s about time I finally write you. Just wanted to thank you for the box of goodies you sent. The cookies were insane. I may have eaten them all. Please send more.

SSgt Awesome? Really? Someone’s a bit sure of himself ;). I’m glad you liked the cookies. I made them with love! Please tell me you’re taking care of my big brother and keeping him out of trouble! He tends to overdo it.
xoxo, Sarah

I do what I can, but I make no promises. Garrett has a mind of his own! Just kidding, though. Garrett’s a great guy. He’s always making sure the rest of us are doing our best, following safety protocols, etc. What about you? Is my little CutieFrog staying out of trouble?

YOUR CutieFrog? ;) I am not staying out of trouble. Well, I’m trying to. Sort of. I have a date tomorrow. I’m nervous. Don’t tell Garrett.

What’s a girl like you have to be nervous about? You’ll knock ‘em dead. I know you’re Garrett’s kid sister, so I should be telling you not to date or to save yourself or something like that, but I’ll just say that you shouldn’t worry. Just be yourself. If he doesn’t see what I see, then he’s an idiot.

The date went soooo bad. Ugh. I should swear off men.

What happened?
CutieFrog: Hey
StaffSergeantAwesome: Woah, hey! A real chat. I’m surprised.
CutieFrog: Well, you know. I saw you were online, so I figured this was easier than emailing back and forth, sometimes waiting days for a response.
