When Kate, a recovering addict, meets handsome, bad-boy Aiden, her resolve to stay sober lasts only until he tempts her with the Spellbinding: an intoxicating magic. But Aiden's ex-best-friend, Chase, won't stop warning Kate that Aiden is a Shade--a dangerous sorcerer. 

When Kate naively agrees to initiate into the Shades, and is compelled to do evil to those she loves, it's Chase who saves her life, and Aiden who threatens it--but still swears his love for her.

Trapped in an ancient conflict between light and dark power, and good and evil men, will Kate give in to the dark allure of Aiden and his power despite the cost? Or will she choose the strong but gentle Chase, turning them both into targets for every dark magician in the modern world?

They Both Love Me, But One is a Devil

It's a conscious effort to raise my chin and show Shrek here that he doesn't intimidate me. "This seat'll be fine," I say, loud enough to echo in the now-silent classroom.

He doesn't remove his hand. I narrow my eyes.

Through gritted teeth he says, "We won't talk with you around. You won't learn anything sitting here, so go back to your friends." His face is getting red, but with the khakis and polo that mark all of Chase's brethren, I figure he won't hit a girl.

But he thinks I'm a Shade. Would he hit a Shade?

Refusing to be intimidated by this asswipe, I stick my nose in his face. "They aren't my friends." This is true. I have no idea who those people are. "And I've done nothing to you. So shut your clamhole, Brutus."

The Shades cackle. I fight down a smile because Brutus looks like he'll bite something. Probably me. Then a girl appears next to me wearing a denim skirt and keds. Seriously?
