"Three men. One cabin. No rules."

CREDENCE

A Dark, Isolated Romance by Penelope Douglas

One girl. Three men. A remote cabin buried in winter.
Desire has no rules in the mountains.

WHERE ISOLATION BREEDS DESIRE

When Tiernan de Haas loses both of her parents, she expects grief. What she doesn't expect is freedom.

Sent to live with her father's reclusive stepbrother, Jake Van der Berg, and his two sons in the isolated mountains of Colorado, Tiernan enters a world far removed from the privilege and emptiness she grew up in.

Here, survival has its own rhythm — work, silence, cold, and an intimacy she's never known.

Jake. Noah. Kaleb.

Three men who have lived without softness for too long… until she arrives.

As they teach her how to live off the land, she begins to find a home among them — and as a part of them.

Lines blur. Rules fade. And desire grows dangerous when no one else is watching.

One of them touches her heart.

One of them burns for her.

And one of them is ready to claim her.

But winter always reveals the truth —
and in these mountains, nothing stays hidden forever.

WHAT MAKES CREDENCE CONTROVERSIAL

This is Penelope Douglas at her most daring. Credence pushes boundaries and challenges conventional romance norms. It's not for everyone — and that's exactly the point.

The relationships are taboo (stepfamily), the setting is isolated (no escape, no judgment), and the romance is unconventional (she doesn't choose just one). But beneath the controversy is a story about finding home, choosing your own family, and discovering who you are when society's rules don't apply.

If you're looking for a safe, traditional romance, this isn't it. But if you want something raw, atmospheric, and utterly consuming — this is your next obsession.

FOR FANS OF:
