Dolls of Ruin (Bound by Stitches) by Quinn Hawthorne

Owning a thrift shop isn’t glamorous, but it’s mine—my tiny corner of quiet where nothing weird ever happens. Until the dolls arrived.

The moment I opened the first crate, my quiet little thrift shop turned into something… unexplainable.

Porcelain and cloth dolls, beautiful and eerie, each with a presence that seems to command the room. They’re more than antiques—they feel alive. The more time I spend with them, the harder it is to shake the sense that they’re not just watching me but waiting.

For what, I don’t know.

But I can’t ignore the pull they have over me. I should sell them, move on—but what if I can’t?

What if they won’t let me?

Step into the beginning of the Bound by Stitches universe.

This prequel sets the stage for an epic 12-book series, with each standalone exploring a doll—or set of dolls—as love interests. Whether you’re drawn to Quinn Hawthorne’s why-choose chaos, Mae Celeste’s intense M/F romance, or their co-written menage à trois intrigue, there’s a story for you. Each book is a complete tale and can be read in any order, with the author names guiding your perfect reading experience.
