Forget the French perfume and boxes of chocolate, the birthdays in this anthology are observed in much more carnal terms, with suitably sexy presents for all. In Simone Harlowe's 'Happy Birthday', a tough policewoman gets the tables turned when Naked Nick arrives to tame her. In Marilyn Jaye Lewis's 'The Birthday Party', an unexpected menage a trois in the dark proves that perfect gift. And in Kate Laurie's 'Her Birthday Suit', two women give their sceptical girlfriend a stud who insists that he won't leave until she is perfectly satisfied.
