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 sat in my room on the edge of my bed in the near dark, too many options, too many fears, too many hopes. What would Chase do? I hadn't told him the truth. He only suspected. But…if the roles were reversed? If I thought he was up to something that might get him hurt? I'd be doing anything I could to stop him.

Should I sneak into his room again? The urge was there to ignore the problem and just throw myself at him. We had days at best. Maybe hours.

I couldn't go with this between us. But I couldn't tell him and give him what he needed to stop me. I let myself fall backwards on the bed with a frustrated groan.

When the quiet knock sounded on the door I sat bolt upright and leapt towards it, certain it would be Chase. So when I opened the door and it was Nathanial standing there looking awkward in the darkness I blinked.

"Did you find my dad?" I whispered urgently.
