Tiernan de Haas has reached a point where indifference consumes her. Born to a film producer and his glamorous wife, she’s been surrounded by affluence and privilege, yet devoid of love and guidance. Consigned to boarding schools early on, she couldn’t escape the isolation and struggled to shape her own path. The looming shadow of her parents’ fame never relented.
With the sudden demise of her parents, conventional wisdom dictates that she should be heartbroken. However, has anything truly changed? She’s always been on her own, hasn’t she?
Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and the sole remaining family, takes on the role of Tiernan’s guardian just shy of her eighteenth birthday. Relocated to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the serene mountains of Colorado, Tiernan discovers that these men now influence what matters to her. Embraced by them, she learns the skills to navigate life in the secluded woods, far removed from the public eye, slowly finding her sense of belonging.
And becoming a part of them.
In this newfound connection, she understands that boundaries blur and rules easily shatter when no one is watching. One of them possesses her heart, while the other desires her. Yet, the one thing she can be sure of is that he… He is determined to hold onto her.
