They Both Love Me, But One is a Devil

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?

Need to Breathe

I renew my efforts on the compressions, but Chase hasn't even twitched.

"But—" Aiden scrambles back. What a coward.

My hope for Chase falters in the same moment my rage at Aiden erupts. I lose my rhythm on the compressions completely as I scream, "You killed him! You killed Chase. Why? What makes you think you're . . . anything compared to him?"

I lose my breath completely, but the question only raises greater despair in me. While Aiden babbles some nonsense, I turn my thoughts—and my anger—on the Light.

Chase doesn't deserve this. Why would you let this happen? He's so good.

I'm stunned when a voice, rich and warm, bubbling over with a fullness I can only call love, sounds in my head.

There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend.

I suck in, arms shaking from more than the exhaustion.
