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

I gape at Chase's trim bulk, wrapped in the medical bandages.

Chase glares. "Because the fire spreads when you touch it and I had to get Jason to the water."

I cover my mouth with a hand. No, he's just trying to get me to walk away from Aiden. I swallow hard. "That could be anything—"

"I'm not lying, Kate. And you know it." Chase puts a hand on my arm above the elbow. I want to pull out of the grip, but it's gentle. I look away from him instead. But he's relentless. "Pretty soon Aiden'll stop playing with you, and you'll have to decide. For real. He'll ask you to join, and give you the chance. Don't do it, Kate. Please."

"I'm not a Shade!" I hiss, but I'm unnerved. What he described is already happening.

"I know. But your power, and being close to him . . . they'll try to make you one. Soon. And that could kill you, Kate. I' m not exaggerating."

What Have I Done?
