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 mountains of trepidation threatened the edges of his mind as he spent the next morning in his apartment, but every time he replayed the previous night in his head, he pushed them further away. The fear that he'd felt at the inkling that Abel's feelings for him weren't platonic washed away into the bliss of feeling him smile as they kissed.


Luke looked around anxiously—though he was alone in his room—as he took out his phone to text Abel. He didn't really have anything to say, and he stared at his screen for far too long trying to come up with something. Finally, he gave up and stuffed his phone into his pocket. 


Luke got ready to go to lunch with Whitney, and he took the long route to avoid going anywhere near the church. Afternoon service was getting out, and the last thing he needed was someone seeing him, trying to talk to him, and dampening his spirit.
