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 slept with the note tucked into the drawer of his nightstand and remembered his plans with Whitney as soon as he woke up. He rolled onto his side in bed, got out the napkin, and stared at it. He thought about sending Abel a message, but he didn't know what he would say. 


Memories of the previous night seeped into his head. He looked at his hand, no longer bandaged, the cut healing but still red and ugly, and the thought of Abel's touch made his face heat up. He shut his eyes and re-lived the sensation of sliding their fingers to lace together for just a few seconds before guilt drowned him.
