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 tried to recognize the room where he and Abel had ended up; he'd been so panicked in opening the doors that he couldn't place his surroundings.


The room was a storage room, well-used and piled high with storage bins, the tall shelves cluttered with activities from children's service and forgotten pieces of décor. Against the wall, huge framed paintings and photos layered into a collage of gaudy frames and bright colors.


So, they were somewhere in the children's wing of the church. Luke shut his eyes and ran through all of the exits from the children's wing, whispering to himself as he counted doors and tried to form a plan to get out when Whitney arrived.


He decided on an escape and let out a deep, steadying breath. He opened his eyes again.


Luke stared at the biggest portrait: a photo of his father standing in the church's courtyard with the garden in the background.
