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

". . . Amy said you're seeing that guy with the tattoos?" Mom's voice sounds like it's coming at me from the other side of a very long, very narrow tunnel. She sounds as far away as she feels.

I pinch the bridge of my nose and try not to sigh audibly, roll my shoulders back and force my voice to lightness. "I've been seeing Aiden since before . . ." I trail off. I don't want to say the words "you left" because whenever I've mentioned that to Mom she gets defensive and prickly.

I never thought I could miss her, but this is teaching me that even a crappy mom is better than no mom at all. I wonder if she realizes that? I wonder if it's why she gets snappy when we bring it up?

There's an awkward pause before she responds. "Well, I didn't think it was official," she says stiffly.

"It wasn't. We've just . . . we're hanging out a lot. You know how it is."
