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 flinched, startled by Rob's abrupt question as soon as he opened the door. He didn't look at Rob, just locked the door and headed to his room. "The Herald wanted to talk to me about something." 


"Oh, about your special little mission?" 


Luke stopped in his tracks. "How did—?"


"What, did you think it was a secret?" Rob scoffed. "The Herald told us during service. You'd know if you ever showed up." 


A bucket of cold nerves poured over Luke. He didn't know why he expected the assignment to stay between him and the Herald; there were no secrets in The Faith, neither quiet triumphs nor hidden mistakes. He was sure that the congregation heard of him letting the vampire get away at the hunt, and he could picture Rob standing at the Doyen's podium and repenting his aggression towards Luke through gritted teeth in front of everyone's disapproving faces. There was no true escape of The Faith's watchful eye, only avoidance by not going to service.
