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

Abel swung the door open. "Luke, I'm sorry, I—" 


Luke cut him off by grabbing his collar and pulling him in, their lips meeting gracelessly.


Abel grabbed the sides of his shirt and backed away, his eyes wide with shock.


Adrenaline coursed through Luke, and he didn't know what he could've looked like to Abel at that moment, but there wasn't anything he wanted more than to kiss him again.


Abel tipped his head up and pressed their lips together, insistent and greedy, and Luke had never felt more exhilarated in his life. 


Sinning tasted so sweet. His hand slid up the side of Abel's neck and cradled the back of his head, finally lucky enough to feel his soft, fuzzy hair under his hand. Waves of warmth and excitement drowned out the last of his anxiety, and he indulged every second of Abel's lips moving against his own, their hands gripping at each other like they were both afraid the other would disappear.
