Credence

Tiernan de Haas has grown up surrounded by wealth and fame—but without love. The daughter of a powerful film producer and a glamorous starlet, she has spent most of her life in boarding schools, isolated and overshadowed by her parents’ celebrity. When they suddenly die, Tiernan realizes something unsettling: she feels almost nothing. After all, she has always been alone. With no one else left, Tiernan is sent to live with her only surviving relative, Jake Van der Berg, in the remote mountains of Colorado. There, far away from the world she once knew, she meets Jake’s two sons, Noah and Kaleb. Life in the wilderness is harsh and unfamiliar, but as they teach her how to survive and work in the rugged landscape, Tiernan slowly begins to find a place among them. But isolation changes things. Boundaries blur. Rules begin to fade. And emotions grow more intense in a world where no one else is watching. One of them has her. One of them wants her. And one of them is determined to keep her. Credence by Penelope Douglas is a dark, emotionally charged standalone novel filled with tension, passion, and complicated relationships. Recommended for readers 18+.
