"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. And when her parents suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But 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. Sent to live in the mountains of Colorado with Jake and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, Tiernan quickly learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.
As the men take Tiernan under their wing, she slowly finds her place among them.
Because 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's going to keep her."-- Provided by Amazon

Dark romance narratives exploring intense relationships, taboo emotional boundaries, and high-stakes personal drama define a wide body of popular contemporary fiction. Penelope Douglas became a widely read presence across the genre through bestselling releases such as Bully and Corrupt, building a vast international readership with stories that push conventional boundaries.
Her works have achieved spot rankings on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists and have been translated into up to twenty languages worldwide.
Born in Dubuque, Iowa, as the eldest of five children, Douglas initially pursued higher education outside of creative writing. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration from the University of Northern Iowa before completing a Master of Science in Education at Loyola University New Orleans. Following her graduate studies, she spent approximately eight years working as an elementary school teacher. Seeking a creative outlet and an escape from her daily teaching routine, she re-engaged with reading and eventually turned to writing her own novels.
Douglas specializes in dark romance, new adult fiction, contemporary romance, and romantic suspense. Her stories frequently incorporate taboo elements, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, forbidden attractions, and intense emotional conflict. She actively explores themes where characters step outside their comfort zones, navigating moral ambiguity, complex family secrets, and intense personal rivalries.
