When Lucien McNamara’s father remarries, he meets his new stepbrother Blaise Laurent. Blaise, the black sheep of his family, is promiscuous, conceited, and callous - but also magnetic, charismatic, and seductive. Lucien is immediately entranced by him. Blaise, after having a falling out with his uncle Raphael (an object of brooding and obsession for Blaise, and the only person who seems to actually get under his skin), must return to his family’s home to live. However, none of his family seems to want him there - especially his mother. Lucien takes pity and attempts to befriend and fix Blaise, but Blaise keeps trying to seduce Lucien. Lucien resists, knowing Blaise doesn’t love him, but continues to try to help him, and he finds himself more and more entangled with this enigmatic but frustrating being. Then Lucien makes a shocking discovery - Blaise is a vampire! Not only that, but he was turned by his own Uncle Raphael, an evil man with whom he has a very twisted relationship. Uncle Raphael wants Blaise to join the Vampire Nobility, but Blaise actually regrets being turned into a vampire. Lucien begins to see the cracks in Blaise’s callous exterior as slowly he begins to let Lucien into his heart. Can Lucien help Blaise find his way out of this dark world, or will he be dragged down with him?

My Stepbrother, the Vampire (BL)

Blaise's voice rang out, filled with concern. "Lucien, wait! What are you doing?"


Lucien spared Blaise and Amelia a quick glance. "Make sure Amelia is safe," he commanded. "I can't let Frederick escape. I'm going to kill him."


With that, Lucien leaped out the window, the cool night air rushing past him as he plunged into the unknown, his mind focused solely on killing Frederick.


His feet touched the ground with cat-like grace, and he wasted no time, charging forward, following the vampire's footprints in the mud through the darkness.


The moon cast a bright glow on the path ahead as Lucien followed Frederick's retreating figure. They raced through the shadows, the paths of the mansion a blur of cobblestones and dark trees. Lucien pushed his aching body to its limits, his breath coming in ragged gasps, but he refused to yield.
