Credence by Penelope Douglas - Paperback

Credence by Penelope Douglas — forbidden romance and age gap dark romance paperback. This is the book that broke the dark romance community and rebuilt it in Penelope Douglas's image. Morally grey men, isolated mountains, and a heroine learning what it means to finally belong somewhere. Deeply unhinged, deeply addictive, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted.

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 never love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, 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 — still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the remote mountains of Colorado, Tiernan slowly learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care about.

As the three of them take her under their wing and teach her to survive far from the rest of the world, she finds her place among them. And as a part of them.

Lines blur. 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.

Standalone new adult novel. Suitable for readers 18+. 🖤
