The Scarlet Letter

Alec has never known much about The Scarlet Letter; the Cabaret House that his parents run in L.A. When he is suddenly invited by them to visit during his holidays, he finally gets a chance to learn more about the family business. There he meets Magnus Bane, the suave performer who, as well as his siblings Isabelle and Jace, is the star of the show. It doesn't take Alec long to fall for Magnus, except there's more to The Scarlet Letter than what it seems on the surface, and what Maryse and Robert expect of their performers goes beyond simple routines.

Alec begins to uncover the dark, twisted past of his family's business and the lengths that his parents were willing to go to keep The Scarlet Letter open. In doing so, he learns that there was a reason that he was invited so suddenly to visit and that he was more involved than he had ever wanted to be . . .
