When you come from a family of cannibalistic organ harvesters, fear isn't something that comes easily. Unless the woman you love is being hunted by a psychopath even more deranged than you. Alyssa is being stalked by a sadistic killer who turns human beings into lifeless, porcelain-perfect dolls. Ian has spent years running from his past, but now, he has no choice. To find her, he must embrace the darkness he's tried to bury. And that means turning to the one man he swore he'd never see again-his brother, Cale Romanov. A notorious serial killer known for carving out human hearts with surgical precision, Cale isn't the kind of ally anyone seeks out willingly. But if anyone can understand the mind of a monster, it's him. As Ian and Cale hunt the Dollmaker, the truth begins to unravel-twisted, personal, and far more dangerous than Ian ever imagined. Because the Dollmaker isn't just after Ian's lost love. He's playing a game. And the final move might just be the end of them both.
