Gray
Christmas
By
Lisabet Sarai
You’re
never too
old for
some holiday
naughtiness
Widowed author Emma
Granger has reconciled
herself to spending
Christmas Eve in
snowy Boston, with a
nice bottle of Pinot
Grigio and her
cat Vronsky. Her daughters
have their own lives
on the West Coast.
Emma knows she can’t
expect them to
visit every holiday.
A loud crash
from the apartment
above her overturns
her plans for a
quiet evening at home.
When she investigates,
she meets Nick North,
an energetic iconoclast
with a gray ponytail,
a silver earring and
bright blue eyes
that kindle feelings
she’d thought were
gone forever. Nick is
her own age, maybe
older, but his
lean body and impish
grin affect her as
if she were a
horny teenager.
Although Emma makes
her living writing spicy
romance, sex with
a stranger seems ludicrous
when you’re an
arthritic grandmother
in your sixties.
Still, the attraction
she feels for her
charismatic upstairs
neighbor appears to
be reciprocated. A
Christmas fling might
be just what Emma
needs to brighten
her holiday.

PG Excerpt
A bit of
gray frizz peeked out
from the neckline
of his tee. I
wondered if he
was hairy all over,
then blushed when I
realized he was
looking at me.
Did he know what
I was thinking?
God, I hoped not!
How embarrassing it
would be if he
realized a horny
old grandmother was
lusting after his
body!
I nibbled at
my cheese, glancing
out the window so
I wouldn’t have
to meet his eyes.
“It’s snowing harder.”
“Good thing
we’re warm and
cozy together in here.”
Something in his
tone made alarm bells
ring. When I turned
my attention to him,
though, he was
studying his cracker.
“So—um—what
about you? Are you
married?” Might as
well take the bull
by the horns.
“Was.” He
wiped his elegant fingers
on his napkin. “She
left me for a
younger man. About
ten years ago.”
“Ouch! That
must have hurt.”
“Yeah, especially
since I was in
the hospital recovering
from heart surgery at
the time.” His manner
was nonchalant, as
though we were
still discussing the
weather. My chest
grew tight in sympathy.
“She was a selfish
bitch.”
“I think
you’re being too
kind.”
“I’m
lucky she’s gone.
I’m better off
without her.”
“I think
I’d have to
agree.”
“Though I
have to say she
was great in bed.”
For that, I
had no reply. I
fumbled with a
piece of flatbread,
trying to hide
my confusion, but
I could feel my
cheeks were flaming
red.
“What about
your husband? Was he
a good lover?” I
couldn’t look
at him. I knew
there’d be a
saucy grin on those
enticing lips, and
a brash twinkle in
those eyes.
How could I
explain about Tom
and me? All the
great years we had
together, so many
erotic adventures,
and then the pale,
bland final decade, when
he’d lost interest
in fucking. Not that
it had been his
fault. Between menopause
and arthritis, sex
simply stopped being
fun for me. He
hated knowing that penetration
caused me pain,
so he pulled away,
and God help me,
I was almost relieved.
But now I missed
the days when we
both loved my body,
almost as much
as I missed Tom
himself.
I could hardly
share all that with
a stranger, though.
