Malled by Christmas (Operation Reindeer Retrieval, #2)

Dancer joined the exodus from the workshop in a chance to experience life and possibly love.
She focuses on life and finds herself working in a mall as a security guard. Watching humans in their preparations for Christmas gives her a feeling of purpose and renews her energy for the holiday.
A new photographer at Santa's Grotto gains a crowd and Dancer's admiration. He handles children with skill and coaxes smiles out of the most recalcitrant little ones.
Dancer catches his eye, and she acknowledges the mutual attraction. A bit of light flirting and fending off attackers creates a bond that definitely embodies the spirit of giving.
