A vampire hunter who is born into The Faith, a cult that preaches purity and hatred for vampires, Luke's newest mission is to capture a half-vampire in his town. He starts working at a bar in New Orleans to get familiar with local nightlife, and there he meets Abel.

Abel, with his bright hazel eyes and dimples that frame his smile, wedges himself in the middle of Luke's mission. He's everything that The Faith hates: he drinks casually, his ears are pierced, and he's not shy about making his affections for Luke clear. His relaxed attitude is like a magnet to Luke.

After wearing Luke down, Abel persuades Luke to hang out at his apartment, where he introduces him to his brother. The sight of him shocks Luke: he's a dead-ringer for the half-vampire he's hunting.

Knowing that Abel's brother is his prey, Luke is torn between fulfilling his mission for The Faith and his fear of losing what he has with Abel.

The FAITH

Luke's eyes flew open and it was his turn to frown at Abel in confusion. "What?"


"It's just—" Abel shook his head and forced his expression to relax. "I've just heard differently about Aldric White." 


A crack formed in Luke's reality hearing Abel say that. He blinked at an exposed tree root next to Abel, and his mind wound itself tight thinking about what Abel could possibly mean. 


"But you would know more than me," Abel said, waving flippantly. "I just hear rumors, but he's your dad." 


Luke nodded slowly, struggling to catch up with Abel's easy attitude. "What'd you hear?" 


"What are the rumors about my dad?" he asked, stronger this time.


"Just that he helped bring a lot of vampires to safety," Abel said, not quite meeting Luke's eye. "And that if The Faith found out someone was a vampire, they would hope it was Aldric coming for them." 


Luke shook his head. "No, that can't be true," he said, soft and adamant.
