She decides to be brave and daring for one night and ends up having the time of her life with one sexy hunk from another branch, Shane Galloway. They have two wild nights together with a promise of more. Will this match become something lasting? Or will it just be one wild ride?

When she meets Shane Galloway from another branch and actually has a conversation with him through dinner she thinks she has found the right man to take her virginity. As the night progresses, things get hotter between them and they have two wild nights together while they are snowed in. They promise to meet for New Year, but nothing happens after she gets back home.
