The Duke Who Would Not Yield
(2026)(The first book in the Dukes of Ironheart Hall series)
A novel by Kerri Kastle
She came to measure the cracks in my house.
Now she’s the one breaking my control.
She moves through my estate like she belongs there,
ink-stained fingers, sharp eyes that miss nothing,
uncovering fractures I buried long ago.
She does not ask permission.
She does not bow to rules.
And she does not fear me.
I should send her away.
Instead, I give her reasons to stay.
I set boundaries I have no intention of keeping.
I watch her too closely.
I let her get too near.
Because the danger is no longer what she might uncover in my walls.
It is what she is unraveling in me.
If I touch her, I lose control.
If I let her leave, I lose the only thing holding this house and myself together.
And I am beginning to understand:
The only thing more dangerous than an Ironheart who won’t yield
is one who already has.
This is a clean, slow-burn Regency romance where control meets defiance,
and love is never taken, only earned.
✔ A controlled, emotionally guarded duke
✔ A capable heroine who refuses to be managed
''' Forced proximity, restrained longing, and rising tension
✔ A deeply satisfying happily ever after
Genre: Historical Romance
