Ripple Effects - Paperback

Recent college graduate and Broadway star wannabe Penny O'Brien returns to the Boundary Waters for a funeral one year after her canoe-camping adventure with Northern Woods. She stumbles into a job in Misty Lake to supplement her meager gig income and finance auditions.

Beckett Young lives and works in Cincinnati, far away from his elitist family, but he maintains the perks of his trust fund. The tragic death of his beloved aunt plunges him into depression until he's summoned to Misty Lake for the reading of her will. A stunning redhead in the tiny town captures his attention, and while casual dating is Beckett's usual MO to avoid hassles with his family, he's enchanted with the practical and fiercely independent woman.

Penny is all in for a short-term fling with a classy guy. But after a few dates with Beckett Young, it's clear they're barreling toward something more serious. How will they juggle a long-distance relationship in the midst of his meddling parents and her struggling career?
