Sweetie

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Gianni Hill takes one look at the handsome new lawyer through the window of his family’s candy store and knows he wants to get to know him better. James being a guy has no impact on his decision. James makes him smile and shares his love for cherry jelly beans. Just the feel of James’ hand, the scent of his cologne and his tender kisses sweeps Gianni off his feet. And despite the objections of his older brother, Battista, Gianni knows what he wants and it is to be in a relationship with James.

James’ heart skips a beat every time he passes the Hill Candy Store window and sees the youngest Hill brother, Gianni busily waiting on customers. He likes everything about him from his sweet innocent look to his love for the craft of candy making. But most of all he likes the way Gianni’s big green eyes darken with passion when he holds him in his arms. Valentine’s Day might be a couple of weeks away but Cupid’s arrow has already pierced his heart and aimed him to the one he is going to spend the rest of his life with.

Battista only wants the best for Gianni. He and his other brothers Dante and Carlo have failed on several occasions to get Gianni interested in a girl. Can he put aside his feelings and accept Gianni being with another man? Or should he take matters in his own hands and introduce James their sister?
