  There, she plays a boardwalk game run by a mysterious and intriguing carnival barker and wins an adorable stuffed teddy bear. Later that night, the bear shifts into a tall, gorgeous ginger lover with the ability to make her forget everything except the passionate games he wants to play. Her teddy is the gift that keeps on giving!
