Standalone Dark Romance

Three men. One cabin. No rules.

When Tiernan de Haas loses both of her parents, she's sent to live with her father's reclusive stepbrother Jake Van der Berg and his two sons in the isolated mountains of Colorado. Far from the privilege and emptiness she grew up in, she enters a world with 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.

Lines blur. Rules fade. Desire grows dangerous when no one else is watching. And winter always reveals the truth.

READER RESPONSIBILITY
Know the genre. Know the tropes. Know your limits.

You can dislike a book, DNF it or give it one star. But there is a difference between a book being wrong for you and a book being bad.

Don't pick up a taboo reverse harem romance and then punish the author for writing exactly that.

VERDICT
For readers who want something raw, atmospheric, and utterly consuming - not safe, not traditional, and absolutely unforgettable.
