title: To Save a Marriage
author: Marcus, Wendy S.
description: Gambling on seduction to save a marriage...
  
  The holidays are approaching fast, and Annabella Cristy--a thirty-nine-year-old, plumper-than-she'd-like-to-be, mother of three--is determined not to let another year end without reigniting the spark in her marriage. So she enlists the help of three not-so-happily married, similarly sexless friends to stage a seduction of their husbands on game night.
  
  ...could be the riskiest bet of all.
  
  When Jack Cristy finds a brand new negligee and a pair of sexy silver stilettoes hidden in the back of the closet he shares with his wife, he knows something's up. It's been years since she's come to his bed wearing anything close to sexy. Why does she have them? And just who the hell is she planning to wear them for?
  
  A short holiday story. Approximately 12,000 words.
