    About this ebook

    Rob Catteneo takes charge of his family’s business, selling ice cream in a British seaside town, and finds their oldest competitor, Bianchi’s, is now being run by the youngest son, Chez. Chez was once a schoolmate but never a friend, because of their old family rivalry.

    Rob’s interested in both a business partnership with Bianchi’s and a more personal relationship with Chez. But Chez is deep in the closet, terrified his very traditional family will discover he’s gay. A night together in a hotel gives Rob insight into Chez’s fears and vulnerability and he’s sure he can help, but Chez resists further business and personal overtures.

    On an important summer weekend for both firms, Rob keeps a cool head in an ice cream emergency and helps Chez out, leaving Chez open to future propositions. Will this be the first step on the road to a sweet future together?

      By Becky Black

      For a memorial service, everyone seemed quite jolly, Rob thought as he followed the stream of people out of the church. There was much chatting going on. He wandered away from his parents, looking to do some networking.

At least that was his excuse, because if he gave in to his dad’s advice, he’d have to take up golf, and the thought made him shudder.

      He looked around for someone to chat to and spotted…well, first he spotted Liliana Bianchi, dressed in unrelieved black, and he knew her, because she hadn’t changed a bit in twenty years. Though she might be a little shorter. Or was that only an effect of standing next to the tall man at her side? Holy cats, is that…?

      Chez? he said, approaching them, holding out his hand. Is that you?

      Rob? Chez said.

      A briefly startled expression crossed his face. His frankly gorgeous face. He had not been this pretty when Rob saw him last, almost a decade ago when they were both sixteen, and Chez had gone off to one sixth-form college and Rob to another. His skin had cleared up, for one thing.

      Mrs Bianchi, Rob said to Liliana. We have met before. Rob Catteneo.

      Oh, she said, eyebrows raised. From the new firm.
