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

Just as I'm about to shake Aiden, he winces and shakes his head, grimacing. "There's too much to explain tonight. Right now we need to figure out how to get this done."

What isn't he telling me? "Get what done? And what--"

"You. Getting Chase. Chase getting Amy. You need to text him. Now. Tell him you want to see him."

My jaw drops. "I'm not doing that. The only reason I went through with that awful rite was because I was terrified. I'm never going back there. Aiden, Derek killed someone."

What I don't say is that it hasn't escaped me that Aiden stood by and watched.

My heartrate skyrockets. Nausea punches at my throat. I think I'm shaking. Something's making the bed vibrate.

"You don't have any choice," Aiden says, his voice so dark it chills me.
