Unfurl

Belle's strict Catholic upbringing, both at home and at boarding school, has left her disconnected from her own desires — until her parents leave for Europe and she meets Rafe, the magnetic older neighbor next door. Rafe has vowed to keep his distance from someone so young, but he runs a club built for people exactly like Belle, with a program designed to unfurl everything she's spent her life denying herself.

Elodie Hart opens the Alchemy series with a steamy age-gap romance exploring sexual awakening, multiple-partner play, and a monogamous happy ending.
