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

Throwing myself on my bed, I want to scream.

It doesn't matter what I do, what I prove, they'll never trust me again. They'll always see me as a drug addict, the shadow that falls over everything else in my life.

Through the blur of tears I'm fighting tooth and nail to keep away, I pull out my phone and text Aiden.

I need you. Please.

I gape at the screen. He doesn't even ask why? Doesn't want to know why I'm asking him to come over late? He's just . . . leaving me alone?

I'm about to text him what I think of that when my bedroom door flies open and Mom's standing there, shrill and flailing. For a second I see her as someone else would. There's something wrong—really wrong—in her world. I wish I knew what it was. I wish I could fix it so we didn't have to do this anymore.
