Perfect for you if...

  • You love morally grey characters who push boundaries and aren't afraid of unconventional dynamics in fiction.
  • You're drawn to slow-burn stories where isolation becomes the setting for genuine connection and transformation.
  • You enjoy Douglas's blend of emotional depth with steamy tension, where the stakes feel personal rather than plot-driven.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer traditional romance arcs with clear heroes and straightforward relationship timelines.
  • You're uncomfortable with age-gap dynamics or stories that challenge conventional family structures.
  • You want light, feel-good reads rather than darker explorations of power, control, and complicated desire.

About this book

Tiernan de Haas is the only child of a film producer and actress. Despite growing up wealthy, she has experienced little love or guidance, having been sent to boarding schools from an early age. Her parents' fame has cast a shadow over her entire life, leaving her isolated and unable to build her own identity. When her parents suddenly die, she realizes that little has fundamentally changed—she has always been alone. Jake Van der Berg, her father's stepbrother and her only living relative, becomes Tiernan's guardian when she is two months shy of eighteen. He brings her to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado. There, far from the rest of the world, the three men teach her to work and survive in the remote woods. As they take her under their wing, Tiernan gradually finds her place among them and becomes part of their lives. In this isolated setting, boundaries blur and rules become easy to break. One of them has her. Another wants her. But one is determined to keep her. Credence is a full-length, standalone romance for readers 18+.
