Alec Lightwood once had a brilliant future as a ballet dancer-until a car accident shattered his career in an instant. Convinced that someone deliberately sabotaged him, he leaves New York behind, vowing never to return to the world of dance. When his beloved grandmother passes away, leaving him her prestigious dance academy, Alec refuses to take responsibility, entrusting the school's management to his sister, Izzy.
Three years after her death, the past comes calling. The academy is on the brink of collapse, and a desperate plea from Izzy forces Alec to return. But nothing prepares him for the shock of discovering that Magnus Bane-one of the men he once suspected-now teaches at his school.
Haunted by old wounds and mistrust, Alec greets Magnus with hostility. Yet the more they work together, the more he begins to question his assumptions-was Magnus truly involved in his accident? As the truth slowly unravels, new feelings stir between them. But Alec is now Magnus' employer, and a relationship between them would be a scandal.
Can Alec find the courage to trust again-trust in dance, in love, and in Magnus?
