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 dropped his hands from his face and stared at the ceiling. I could feel the words creeping up in him and I waited. He sighed then opened his mouth—

A gentle knock on the door speared through me like a gunshot, and Chase was immediately bolt upright, one arm over my chest, leaning to put himself between me and the door. I clawed at his back. "No, no!" Not again.

But the door didn't open. A moment later a voice—Jerry, I thought—came through it, muffled.

"Uh, I'm sorry for that guys. But, um, I think you should, er, get dressed and come downstairs. There's some stuff we need to sort out."

Chase took a deep, shuddering breath and leaned forward on his knees, face in his hands.

"Give us a few minutes," he called a second later without lifting his head.
