Twenty-one years ago, on her only trip with her parents, Sarah Reese had had a traumatic experience. The girl, then just six years old, was rudely detained and humiliated in front of shoppers at one of Chicago's largest department stores. It was Christmas, she had been enchanted by the colorful window and had separated from her parents. The thing only didn't take bigger proportions thanks to the interference of a young man who rescued and comforted her until her parents were brought. The boy offered her a gift as a way of apologizing for what had happened. After that, the girl avoided fancy stores like this one for bringing the facts to mind. During his childhood and part of his adolescence, Connor Rhodes had, before society and friends, a perfect and happy family. Special dates, such as Christmas, reinforced this impression.

If that happened, would Connor run away again, or would he surrender to the most beautiful and strongest magic known? Let's find out together? This Christmas, don't run from love. Go towards him!
