Cafe owner Roxanne is turning 40. She thought she'd be spending the big day on a road trip by herself, until her best friend stepped in to make sure she got the birthday present she deserved.
As head of security in the largest casino in Manila, Martin, 38, has had no time for romance. When his cousin set him up on a birthday blind date with a lovely 40-year old, he was intrigued enough to agree to be her birthday present.
He didn't come wrapped and adorned with a bow but maybe, just maybe, he'd turn out to be the best birthday present she'd ever received.
