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)

Lucien sat at his desk, a flickering candle casting a yellow glow across the room. He carefully penned his thoughts onto the paper, his hand trembling slightly with anticipation. Each stroke of the quill carried his longing, his hopes, and his desires.


I cannot begin to express my longing to be with you. The days without you by my side feel so empty. Know that I adore you with all my heart, and am making plans for us to be together again.


My Aunt Sonia sent a letter to my father, and this got me thinking - she has a nice house in the country, but she lives there alone. She has always been generous and open-minded. So, without my father's knowledge, I sent her a letter asking if we could stay at her house for a while. We could get away from this suffocating place and hide from Raphael, all in one blow.
