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

I swallow hard, but as Chase zips up his jeans, I join Nathanial in combing the room for any last trace of Chase.

Kate, please. I know it's scary, but you really aren't alone. You'll be fine.

No I won't, but I'm okay with that. And he doesn't need to know it.

Grateful that Chase can't usually hear my thoughts unless I want him to, I follow he and Nathanial out of the room. While Nathanial signs the waiver papers, despites two nurses trying to convince him otherwise, I usher Chase down the hall to the elevator.

Chase's palm in mine, his fingers gripping mine feel good—and yet also like a brand. Fire on my skin.

I'll do whatever it takes, I pray to the Light. Take whatever you want from me. As long as you save them.

I know my face is grim. Chase watches me, but I can't smile right now.
