Author:Taylor Stevens
Information specialist Vanessa ‘Michael’ Munroe has a global reputation for getting things done, often dangerous and violent things.
But her reputation has brought her dangerous enemies.
On a busy Dallas street, Munroe is kidnapped by an unseen opponent and thrust into an underground world where women and girls are merchandise and a shadowy figure known as The Doll Maker controls her every move.
Now everything pivots on one simple choice: Munroe must use her unique set of skills to deliver a high-profile young woman into the same nightmare that she once endured, or condemn to torture and certain death the one person she loves above all else.
