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 woke with a start the next morning, rubbing his eyes hastily as he realized that he was in an unfamiliar place.


He jumped when something moved beside him, and memories of the previous night poured back into his head when he saw the buzzed head on the pillow.


Luke bit back a smile and relaxed into the pillow again.


Abel lay beside him with his arm slung across Luke's stomach and his lips parted as he slept soundly. 


Luke wrapped his arm around Abel's waist and bowed his head into his bare chest. 


After sharing mind-melting bliss, Abel persuaded Luke—whose mind was like putty, his rationality obscured—to stay the night. Lying down next to Abel at the end of the night was the most intensely affirming part of the evening. Abel pressing his back against Luke's chest and clasping their hands together as if embracing weren't quite enough, filled Luke with contentment unlike anything he'd ever felt.
