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

"Kate?" Hearing Chase's deep voice, the firm tenderness in it, makes me want to cry again.

"Ye-es," my voice breaks. "Chase, I—"

I freeze. How do I even start with this? What can I tell him? What am I doing?

I swallow. Hard. "I, uh," my voice is hoarse, barely above a whisper. "I need your help. I—" The words are there in my throat. The true story. What I've gotten myself into. The urge to spit them washes over me. But before I can form them, I have a flash of the sensation of my throat closing. Hand to my throat, I remember the cool resolve in Aiden's eyes. And Derek's . . . creature.

"Kate?" Chase's voice is tight with concern.

"I-I can't believe you called me," I blurt, blinking back tears.

He blows out a breath. "I told you I wouldn't talk to you until you wanted me to."

I nod, can't find words through the self-loathing coating me.

"Kate," he says hesitantly, "how bad is it?"
