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 wake in the morning to light barely gray through the window and almost roll over to look for Chase, but I hear a rustling, and a whisper. "Just give me a second, I don't want to wake Kate. She needs the rest."

"What?" he whispers, "why now?" There's a pause. I can barely hear the voice on the other end of the phone. I catch Aiden's name and something about surveillance. "Well, of course I'll help, but I really think Kate would be at seeing his motives. She has a knack for—"

Chase breaks off. I hear the zip and pull of the sharp tugs he uses to lace his boots. The voice on the other end is low and urgent. What are they going to do? Whatever it is, they obviously want Chase and not me.

The anger I'd lost last night begins to simmer in my chest again.
