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

Chase doesn't say anything. He doesn't have to. His eyes say it all.

I try to snort, but it comes out as more of a whimper. I get to my feet. "I don't blame them."

"Kate." His voice is deep, hushed.

"A person is dead because of me." I take a step back.

"Yes! And don't . . . I'm not saying this for sympathy. I've just . . . it doesn't matter if your friends will help me or not. I can't have any more on my conscience."

Suddenly, in a way that's almost a relief, I accept that this will hurt. And I'm resigned to it. That's when the tears start, but I'm too tired to fight them.

I could be killed. But the more I do with the Shades, the more other people will get hurt, too.

I'm backing away because he won't stop inching toward me and the concern in Chase's gaze, the sympathy there, cuts me.
