The Birthday Gift One surprise. One unforgettable night. One birthday she'll never forget. Amelia has spent her entire life believing she's not enough. So when her best friend, May, gives her the most outrageous birthday present imaginable-a night with a gorgeous male escort-Amelia is equal parts horrified and tempted. It's supposed to be a confidence boost, a chance to step outside her comfort zone for just one evening. Nick is charming, attentive, and far too genuine for someone who was paid for the night. He doesn't treat Amelia like a client. As the evening unfolds, the lines between fantasy and reality blur. Because Nick is hiding secrets of his own... and the man standing before Amelia may not be the escort she believes he is. Sometimes the most unexpected gift isn't found inside the box.
