Summary: The de Branges-Rovnyak space $H(b)$ is generated by a bounded analytic function $b$ in the unit ball of $H^\infty$. When $b$ is a nonextreme point, the space $H(b)$ is invariant by the forward shift operator $M_z$. We show that the $H(b)$ spaces provide model spaces for expansive quasianalytic $2n$-isometric operators $T$ with $T^*T - I$ being rank one. Then we describe the invariant subspaces of the $2n$-isometric forward shift operator $M_z$ on $H(b)$.
