Elowen Blackthorne never expected Thornfield Manor to become her prison. Sent away under the guise of protection, she arrives at the eerie, isolated estate with nothing but a suitcase and a secret—one she's been forced to bury deeper than the bruises on her past. But Thornfield is not the sanctuary she hoped for. It's a place that watches. A place that remembers. And within it lives a man who sees too much.
Sebastian Vale is older. Wealthy. Cunning. With a voice like smoke and eyes like polished obsidian, he moves through the manor like a shadow—untouchable, unreadable, and impossibly magnetic. He rules Thornfield with cold command and twisted grace, hiding truths in his silence and danger in his smile. Everyone fears him.
Except Elowen.
From the moment their paths cross, something awakens. A game. A war. A pull of desire too sharp to be innocent and too deep to resist. He wants her—broken, trembling, his. But Elowen refuses to be consumed without a fight. And so begins their unraveling: a slow-burn descent into obsession, where power turns intimate, pain turns pleasurable, and nothing—least of all her heart—is safe.
As Thornfield's halls whisper long-forgotten horrors and old sins claw their way to the surface, Elowen must confront the truth: she was not sent here by accident. And Sebastian's interest in her is no coincidence.
He is the monster they warned her about.
She just never expected to fall in love with him.
Labyrinth of Desire is a dark, gothic romance that explores the tangled line between love and control, innocence and corruption. Laced with psychological tension, morally gray obsession, and deeply sensual scenes, this is not a fairytale—it's a fever dream. And once you enter, there's no escaping what lives in the walls... or the man who haunts them.
