Pier Pressure

by Evie Mitchell

Published 13 July 2021

It's summer, which means sunshine, sand and awkward tan lines. What our heroes aren't expecting? Love. Sometimes hot days turn into steamier nights as these men find love by the lake.

James
All I wanted was a week with friends. A week to sit by the lake, listen to some tunes, and maybe forget for five minutes that my best friend was engaged to a guy I despised. Well, that was the plan until Hazel called and said she and Mister-I'm-Too-Good-For-Camping had broken up. Now it's my chance to do something I should have done years ago, turn myself from best friend into boyfriend. I don't want to be the rebound. I want to be her only.

If only Hazel could see that.

Hazel
Peer pressure. It's the only reasonable explanation for why I'm on this trip. Oh, that and wanting to escape the judgemental glares of my parents. After breaking off my engagement to Mister-I-Don't-Share-Fries, I just want a quiet week away with my friends. Sun, sand, and swimming is the perfect way to mend a bruised heart. Only... my heart doesn't feel that bruised. In fact, it feels kind of... achy. And excited. And it seems to skip every time James enters the room. It feels a lot like... love?

Deep, Deep Donuts

Setting up a donut truck near a busy part of the lake is probably the best idea I've ever had. Warm cinnamon. Gooey jelly centers. Sweet glazed… Whatever tickles your fancy, I have it in my van, cooked fresh to tantalize your taste buds.

What I don't have is a permit.

So evading the local law has become my number one priority. Pity, because Officer Lee looks mighty adorable in his cycling shorts while doing his rounds of the lakefront. Not sure a fit guy like that would go for a curvy girl like me, but I love watching those toned thighs pedaling like mad in my rearview mirror while he's trying to catch me. It's my favorite part of every getaway. But I can't let myself get too distracted, because if Officer Lee ever catches me, I'll be in deep, deep donuts.

Wes
All I want is a donut!

Every single day, that fresh cooked, doughy, sweet scent keeps teasing me from afar. And every time I get close, the donut truck moves on. It's like I'm living in a little kid's nightmare where I'm forever rushing out with my money, but the snack truck leaves before I get to the window and I miss out.

And what's worse, the woman who runs the van is the sweetest, cutest girl I've ever seen. I want a bite of her as much as I want a bite of her donuts. If only I can ever manage to get close enough...

It all started with a pie baking contest.

Amy’s Bakery had won every year for twenty years. My mother never lost and when I took over the bakery I continued the winning streak until Leanne and Sprinkled With Sugar came along. Her apple pie blew my cherry pie out of the water that first year and has beat me every year since no matter what I try.

It would be frustrating, but it’s hard to be mad at such a beautiful dessert, and I’m not talking about the pie. She’s sweet as pie and absolutely edible.

She’s all smiles for everyone except me. She thinks I have a vendetta against her simply because she’s the new reigning champion of the Sweet Lake Festival pie contest. I don’t. No the only problem I have with her is how much she hates me.

This year I’m determined to win. Not only the contest, but her heart.
