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.

This is the first book I have read from the author and she blew me away. The storyline is original and well written. You can feel the chemistry between Velda and Ansel."" - Amazon reviewer ""This is an entertaining age, gap billionaire romance, book that grabs your attention and holds it from beginning to end. The storyline is intriguing as the elements unfold. The characters are well written with steamy chemistry together."" - Amazon reviewer ""I loved this well written and captivating romance. Our main characters Ansel and Velda are worlds apart in so many ways, but I love their connection. I also loved some of the education of how the Amish live as I'm not well versed on many of their traditions. I quite enjoyed that. A wonderfully addictive read and I can't wait for more in this series!"" - Amazon reviewer ""Ansel finds himself having to undergo a life change. He connects with Velda who has the skills to make it possible and offers her a job away from everything she has ever known. Away from her community Velda gets an eye-opener, and her small world will never be the same. Will she grab hold of everything that Ansel has to offer leaving behind her Amish roots? This intriguing story blends two cultures together for an overwhelming experience that has love unfolding for Ansel and Velda amidst the surfing waves where the wealthy rule."" - Amazon reviewer
