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

<p>Aiden takes a deep breath and holds my gaze. "So, Derek's our, um, leader here. And his power's growing. The way the Shades work, when you prove you've got what it takes, you move up. Take the next step. Like a promotion. You can learn more, grow stronger every time.</p>

<p>"But every time a leader takes a step up, the people below them do, too. And I'm Derek's . . . well, when he moves, I get his spot, if I'm strong enough. The thing is, where he is now, anyone at that level has rules. I'll get a lot stronger. But I can't share that with just anyone. I can't have a Passive close at all. Even initiates would have to stay away from certain meetings and stuff. But if you initiated, we could be together without any problems. And you're so strong, I know you wouldn't stay an initiate for long. You'd pass the tests and get your power, your training really fast. As soon as you're a Shade you could share it with me—the position. We could . . . be together. With everything."</p>
