Rumspringa

Welcome to Narragansett, Rhode Island. A playground of wild surf, decadent lobster rolls, and jaw-dropping wealth.

After a life-altering health scare, ruggedly handsome TwinFin surfwear mogul Ansel Wolf is ordered to overhaul his lifestyle and eating habits. On a business trip to Reading, fate intervenes in the form of Velda Yoder, an enchanting, sheltered Amish beauty with an effortless knack for healthy cooking. When their worlds collide in a chance Pennsylvania encounter, Ansel can't resist offering Velda the opportunity to escape for the summer to his oceanfront Rhode Island mansion before her rumspringa is over.

Velda, craving one last, wild adventure before forever surrendering to her Ordinung's strict rules, plunges into Ansel's decadent world of electric cars, seaside surf competitions, & private jets. As the exhilarating, sun-drenched days break down her inhibitions; Velda discovers carnal desires she never knew existed. With her mind and body now awakened to the pleasures of such a taboo new life, Ansel finds himself falling, enamored by her innocence, entranced by her lust for new experiences, and aching for her, despite their age difference.

But when a heart-shattering letter arrives from home, Velda's summer of awakening spirals into turmoil. She must make a heavy choice: risk permanent exile from her family and faith or forever walk away from the man who sets her soul ablaze.

Rumspringa is the second standalone novel of Odessa Alba's award-winning New England Billionaires contemporary series. Dive in for an emotional and heartfelt coming-of-age romance with a tear-jerking HEA, perfect for fans of age gap romance, billionaire heartthrobs, and unforgettable opposites-attract love stories.
