ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 19, 2025
Gemma Holloway was always off-limits, my best friend’s little sister, the one woman I swore I’d never touch.
When she walks back into my bar after eight years, she’s not the bright-eyed girl I remember. She’s bruised in ways no one can see… and everything in me locks onto one truth:
She’s not safe.
And I’m done pretending I don’t want her.
Gemma doesn’t trust men, least of all a dominant one like me. Her ex twisted her desires into something shameful, something she’s afraid to feel again. But at The Forge, my club, my rules, I’ll show her the difference between control and care. Between taking and choosing.
She thinks she’s broken.
I know better.
Protecting her should be simple.
Not falling for her? Impossible.

REVIEW: IRON WILL is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult IRON BROTHERHOOD MC erotic, Dom/sub romance story line. This is thirty year old, graphic designer Gemma Holloway, and MC member and bar owner Will Lawson’s story line.
NOTE: Due to that nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Will and Gemma) IRON WILL follows in the wake of the return of Gemma Holloway to her hometown in Oregon having left her emotionally abusive husband.Broken and struggling, Gemma finds solace with her brother Cole, and his best friend Will, the man with whom Gemma will fall in love but the past refuses to let go, and Will Lawson is determined to protect Gemma with the help of the Iron Brotherhood MC.
The world building follows several pathways including Gemma’s healing, Will’s slow seduction of Gemma, and the take down of the man taking aim at our story line heroine.
The relationship between Will and Gemma is a best friend’s younger sister. Will is a widower, and hasn’t seen Gemma in close to five years but Gemma’s returns brings out the softer side of a man whose need to dominate comes naturally, a need that is equal to Gemma’s desire to submit. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include Gemma’s brother and MC member Cole Holloway, as well as Tate and Shaw; and soon to be ex-husband Craig Burns.
IRON WILL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and intense; the romance seductive;the characters are dynamic and healing.
