Credence

Description

A bestselling standalone romance from Penelope Douglas, Credence is a bold, unconventional story exploring loneliness, belonging and forbidden relationships against the secluded backdrop of the Colorado mountains.

Tiernan de Haas has spent her entire life surrounded by wealth and privilege, yet starved of the love and attention she needed most. As the only child of a successful film producer and his famous wife, she grew up in boarding schools, constantly overshadowed by her parents’ celebrity and struggling to find a place where she truly belonged.

When her parents suddenly die, Tiernan finds herself questioning whether anything has really changed. After all, she has always felt alone.

With her eighteenth birthday approaching, guardianship of Tiernan falls to Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and only living relative. She is sent to live with Jake and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in a remote cabin deep in the Colorado mountains.

Far removed from the privileged world she once knew, Tiernan must adapt to a completely different way of life. Under the guidance of the three men, she learns to work, survive and embrace the challenges of living in isolation.

For the first time, she begins to experience a sense of belonging. But as her relationships with Jake, Noah and Kaleb develop, emotional boundaries become increasingly complicated, and the rules that once seemed clear begin to blur.

In a place where the outside world feels impossibly far away, Tiernan discovers that finding connection can come with unexpected consequences.

Atmospheric, emotionally complex and filled with forbidden tension, Credence explores the complicated nature of human relationships, the search for acceptance and the boundaries people cross when no one else is watching.
