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

True to his word, Chase doesn't talk to me at group. It's as if he isn't even there. He sits on Trista's other side, joins a different group when we split up, and acknowledges me only with a wave as I hurry out of the room the second we're done.

It's been . . . odd. I can't stop thinking about Amy, how upset she was when she thought Chase had a crush on me. How relieved she was that she was wrong.

I have to help her see that just because Chase doesn't like me doesn't mean he will like her. I sigh. One more thing to add to my list of fixers.

An hour ago, I texted Aiden, asking what time he'd be off work and could we get together after group.

I haven't heard from him when I'm walking through the Youth Center, but as soon as I step outside, I see why. He's at the curb, car idling, waiting for me.

His face lights up when I push out of the main doors. I smile back and run across to him, leaning in the open window to kiss him.
