Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Douglas, comes a new standalone!

Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue...

Tiernan de Haas doesn't care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she's grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents' fame followed her everywhere.

And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She's always been alone, hasn't she?

Jake Van der Berg, her father's stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.

As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.

And as a part of them.

She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.

One of them has her.

The other one wants her.

But he...

He's going to keep her.

*Credence is a full length, stand-alone romance suitable for readers 18+.

“What can I say?!? I loved it! I wasn’t sure that I would given the mixed reviews and the taboo topics, but my curiosity won me over. I read Birthday Girl and Punk 57 and really enjoyed those books, so, I had an inkling of what to expect with Credence. I was hooked from the beginning. I have to say, Penelope is becoming one of my favorite authors. She has a way of creating complex, troubled, broken characters that find a way to overcome and rebuild. I’m here for it! More please!”
“I don’t like kaleb as a character through the entire book and it felt like the man he was through the story was a different man to who he was in the final chapter like it didn’t feel like it was the same person 🤷‍♀️ also just overlook that fact that she is technically related to them all (not by blood) she calls Jake uncle the entire time which defo made me cringe quite a bit 😂😂 I feel like they didn’t have to be step uncle and cousins to make the storyline make sense they could easily been family friends turned enemies or something less ewww Such weird vibes the entire book like I enjoy it and did read it fairly quickly but also lots of gross moments”
“Weird and it felt like there was no plot. It was boring but really odd at the same time.”
