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 really should've known better than to trust Raphael, for now they found themselves surrounded by the encroaching vampires. Lucien's eyes darted from one vampire to another, assessing their numbers and calculating their chances. The odds were stacked against them, and their weariness from the battle with Raphael only amplified the daunting challenge ahead.


One of the vampires, a tall figure with a wicked smile, stepped forward, taunting Lucien and Blaise. "You can't run forever, little ones," he jeered. "Give up now, and we might show you some mercy."


Lucien clenched his fists, his jaw set. "We won't be your playthings," he retorted. "We'll fight until the very end."
