title: Birthday Blues
author: Blizzard, Amy
description: All uptight, workaholic Claudia Mackey wanted for her birthday was to forget it and wash away the affects of her stressful day with a nice, quiet evening at home soaking in a bubble bath with a good book. But when she found Nick Lowder, a local chef and laid back flirt, waiting on her doorstep to prepare dinner as a birthday gift- the stress she had wanted to forget came back at full throttle. But when their defenses weaken after mindless bickering, the sweet and sour opposites begin to attract and just might find themselves ending the night with an extra sweet dessert.
