The Duke Who Was Never Chosen
(2026)(The sixth book in the Dukes of Ironheart Hall series)
A novel by Kerri Kastle
The physician’s daughter beneath my roof is stealing my heart—and another man is ready to claim hers.
Charlotte Pryce meets my commands with a lifted chin and my silences with eyes that see too much.
I should keep my distance.
Instead, her fingers steady my injured shoulder, and mine linger around her wrist.
She leaves an apricot beside my letters, and I save her chair.
Her papers consume my desk.
Her footsteps become the sound I wait for.
Then, beneath bare rafters, she tilts her face toward mine.
She closes the distance between us, and every careful wall I have built cracks open.
But Dr. Holbrook says her name easily.
He offers his arm, his admiration, and the question lodged like terror behind my teeth.
Charlotte watches me as though she is waiting.
I stand there wanting everything and asking for nothing.
If she stays, I may always wonder whether she chose me or my title.
If she leaves, I will know my silence drove her away.
Her carriage is coming.
And the next time her hand rests beside mine, another man''s ring may be on it.
Genre: Historical Romance
