I haven't looked myself in the eye since the night I watched my sisters die wearing my face. Ophelia Sorrell hasn't looked in a mirror in seven years. Not the bathroom glass, not a darkened window, not even the eyes of a stranger because somewhere behind every reflective surface, two dead girls are waiting to look back. She keeps her world small. Her father's toy shop. The floor beneath her feet. Anything that can't show her a face she buried a long time ago. Then a man finds her in the dark. He doesn't know her name before he knows her secret. He watches her sleep before she ever speaks to him. He finds the hospital records, the police files, the photograph of three identical girls and instead of walking away, he starts building something for her. Rhys Castellan owns the kind of carnival that isn't built for children. Glass, glamour, and things that shouldn't be beautiful but are. And once he understands exactly what Ophelia is afraid of, he decides quietly, patiently, obsessively that he's going to be the one to teach her how to see herself again. Whether she survives the lesson is another matter. Cracked Doll is a dark, obsessive romance featuring a morally gray hero, a heroine trapped between two kinds of haunting, and a love story that asks: what's more dangerous the thing you're afraid to see, or the man who won't stop looking?
