Family.They're always meddling in your love life...Even after they're dead.Brooklynite-and genealogist-Ingrid Ekstrom accepts a surprise request from her typically estranged family: to become the live-in caretaker of their shared historic house in the sleepy Jersey Shore town of Aegir Haven. A fun-loving cousin is quick to introduce Ingrid to the local handyman and bluegrass musician. As he fixes up the place, Ingrid digs into the house's past and learns about the family she barely knows. And then Mormor-her long-dead grandmother-shows up, acting as though not being in the spirit realm is perfectly normal. Ingrid's always yearned for stronger family connections, and it's nice having Mormor around. Mormor tries to set her up with a young real estate attorney who's closer to her more thunderous, god-like personal standards than the musician with keen senses Ingrid is falling for. As lore and legends mingle with real life, she's torn. Mormor's fantastical family sagas can't actually be true, right?

Ruby River has a lot of rules, and Oona Hendrix knows how to carve around obstacles. When love crashes in mid-wipeout, it's a rush worth chasing.Former professional skateboarder Oona Hendrix is back in her hometown after a career-ending leg injury forces a life pivot. Only, Oona can't skate, or she's not supposed to, thanks to the town enforcing an ordinance that bans skating—a rule that is suspiciously specific. Without skating, who even is she? She's not about to follow the line and ride it out.Celebrity son and minor celebrity in his own right, River Rosen has spent years helping his dad on film shoots and managing their local comic bookstore. Peaceful small-town life is easy, except for the constant rules from the handful of fun-suckers who don't know how to relax. When Oona crashes back into town, he can't help but notice that the woman he once fantasized about—the one whose posters covered his teenage walls—is now in town challenging the rules. The town could use a dash of rebellion.Falling for each other is the simple part. Standing up for what matters could lead to a major wipeout and cost them parts of the love they've been waiting lifetimes for.
