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 convinced himself that if he kept going, touching Whitney would start to feel good. The cold brick in the pit of his gut would melt and it would be exhilarating, because it was supposed to be, because he was desperately grasping at straws to stifle his feelings for Abel using his commitment to Whitney. 


Whitney lay underneath him, bare and shy, and he swallowed down the worst shrieks of dread in his body as he hovered above her in just his jeans. 


She was a truly beautiful woman, and her affections were wasted on Luke. Her long, blonde hair fell in waves away from her pretty face—exactly the same color as Luke's, and with waves that he chopped off his own head—and her blue eyes sparkled at him with nerves—a matching shade with Luke's, though brighter and more beautiful than his.
