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 is sprawled on the stones, his mouth open, and hands grasping, as he tries to pull the power. But Aiden's doing something—he's got Chase by the neck, his lips peeled back from his teeth, head whipping back and forth, horrible noises erupting from his throat—and with each guttural howl, Chase weakens.

It's as if Aiden isn't the one fighting.

Then I see it, and I want to scream.

Aiden's on top of Chase. He isn't big enough to hold Chase by himself. But he doesn't have to.

The path is dark, yet Aiden's shadow exists.

Before my horrified eyes, a tangled, bloodthirsty beast is growing up around him and it's clawing into Chase.

I can smell its hot breath. See the moonlight glinting on its talons. Hear its huffing breath. Feel its desire for blood--for death.
