Piano Man — Elizabeth Coldwell

Approaching fifty, Graham is tired of the gay club scene. He dreams of a venue where he won't be judged on his age and looks. He and his friend Mike decide to fill the gap in the market by opening the Midnight Lounge, a gay-friendly piano bar in the heart of London's Soho. After several unsuccessful auditions, Graham finds the perfect pianist for the bar. Adam Turner is young, handsome, and talented, and there's a spark of attraction between him and Graham, but Graham's split with his ex has left him feeling old and unattractive. He believes Adam is just stringing him along -- a belief that seems validated when Adam kisses him, then claims he's made a big mistake. Adam wants Graham, but first he'll have to prove to Graham that age is no barrier to finding love.
