About this ebook

⚠️ Unhinged Thriller Content Warning ⚠️

📖 Prequel novella to the Dirty Doll Ops series.

Thief. Survivor. Weapon-in-the-making.


The Marrakesh job was supposed to be simple.

Steal the documents. Escape. Get paid.

Instead, she ends up beaten, bleeding, and trapped inside a Moroccan holding cell with two impossible choices: disappear into prison forever… or disappear into something far worse.

She chooses worse.

That decision leads her straight into the Dollhouse—a covert black-ops program hidden beneath luxury, seduction, and violence, where broken women are stripped apart and rebuilt into lethal operatives known only as Dolls.

Beautiful. Disposable. Deadly.

Inside the Dollhouse, survival means surrendering everything that once made her human. Every scar becomes a weapon. Every betrayal becomes armor. Every lesson in seduction, manipulation, and obedience pushes her further away from the woman she used to be.

But the deeper the conditioning goes, the more dangerous she becomes.

Because some weapons can be controlled.

And some are destined to destroy the people who created them.

A dark thriller novella packed with espionage intrigue, psychological suspense, femme fatale energy, covert black-ops training, dangerous seduction, and morally gray survival.
