Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to Narragansett, Rhode Island, home of surf-worthy waves, lobster rolls, and obscene wealth.
Reeling from a frustrating health revelation, TwinFin surfwear mogul Ansel Wolf must drastically change his dietary habits due to his doctor's orders. On a business trip to Berks County, Pennsylvania, his life is forever changed when he meets Velda Yoder, a meek Amish beauty with a large family and a knack for creating healthy meals. With the end of her Rumspringa looming, Ansel offers her a temporary job as a cook in Rhode Island. Ready for a true adventure, Velda accepts, hoping to experience as much of the world as she can before her impending baptism and lifetime commitment to the rigid rules of the Ordnung.
Now far from her stifling plainclothes community, Velda is thrust into a world of ocean-front mansions, athletic surfers, electric cars, and brand-new friendships. As she delves deeper into the taboo way of life, her mind - and body - are awakened to the pleasures of all that lies beyond her stifling plainclothes community. Despite being tortured by their gap in age and stature, Ansel finds himself deeply enamored by Velda's innocence and her eagerness to explore things formerly verboten to her back in Pennsylvania.
When a devastating letter arrives, the single piece of paper changes everything. Now exposed to the thrilling world beyond her farm, Velda is torn, forced to make an impossible choice, one where she must either decide to sacrifice the only life she's ever known (and be forever banned by her community) or throw away everything that could possibly ever be with the man who wants to give her the world.
Rumspringa is the scorching-hot second installment of Odessa Alba's spicy New England Billionaires contemporary series. Each novel of the series takes place in a different New England state and can be read as a steamy standalone. Rumspringa is a heartwarming and racy coming-of-age tale with a tear-jerking HEA that explores age gap, fish out of water, new adult, surfer, billionaire, and taboo contemporary romance tropes.
