Summary
A fluffy Frank/Nancy short. It’s only a few days before the wedding. Frank and Nancy are trying to be good, but the Hardy family meddling is doing little to help the situation. Minor spoilers for Shadows & Swindlers non-mystery subplots.
Rated M for mature content. Rating is for tasteful heterosexual content. Definitely not for the children. Thanks to Confidential Brunette, who’s periodic requests for ‘a little romance’ during the on-going posting of Shadows & Swindlers inspired this piece. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Obviously, I don’t own the original characters or they would likely remain the innocent teens that they are in the related series ;) I make no money from this … but payment in the form of reviews is gratefully accepted!
Happy reading!

Summary
The Hardy boys are finally on their honeymoons in the Adirondack State Park but trouble seems to follow the brothers and their brides as they attempt to settle in at the Cedar Point Atrium Resort for a relaxing holiday.
A/N: I set this on the shores of Lake George, which is an actual place, though I’ve changed the details. The peninsula I describe is loosely based on the area of Tongue Mountain and Northwest Bay, but is entirely fictional. Though the area immediately surrounding the Lake does not necessarily have the exact topography I describe, it is present in other areas of the Adirondack State Park – a national treasure and well worth a visit if you ever get to New York State. I have attempted to make my story at least loosely accurate, but the places and people described are totally fictional for the most part.
