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?

"Kate?" Chase's deep voice scatters my thoughts. But what's left in their wake is the determination to be honest with him. To really have this conversation.

Sighing, I lift my hand from Chase's waist to his chest, place trembling fingers right over his heart, feel his muscles contract, hear his breath suck in and out. And it feels good.

I speak to his chest because it's easier than talking to his eyes. Plus, having my hands on him keeps me grounded. I swallow. Hard.

"The last time Aiden showed up, I was terrified." My voice is barely loud enough to hear over the music. Chase leans in closer. He smells so good. "Then I talked to you and . . . " I look at him then because I need to see his reaction. "I felt better. Safe."
