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 convictions shattered as the bar closed. The night seemed darker than normal, and he'd had a difficult day. Abel was the last person that he should see, and he knew that. Still, he stayed at the entrance waiting for him anyway.


Part of him hoped that Abel wouldn't show up, that he'd have enough sense to know that Luke wasn't worth the danger of being on The Faith's radar. He had a suspicion of Abel's feelings for him, between the way that he smiled at him and the way that he went out of his way to see him, and it was terrifying. It was exactly what he'd been afraid of when he first saw Abel at the bar. Abel couldn't have those feelings for him. They couldn't have those feelings for each other.


But, rationality didn't change how badly Luke wanted to see him.


Luke turned around at the sound of Abel's voice and saw him smiling as he approached Luke, dressed in an ill-fitting suit jacket and black satin tie.
