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 stared at his reflection in the mirror, adjusting his tie. Today was the day he had promised himself to start anew, to move on past Blaise and embrace the possibilities that life had to offer. He took a deep breath, mustering his confidence, and made his way downstairs.


In the living room, he found Troy chatting animatedly with his girlfriend, Linda. Maisy sat nearby, engrossed in a book, her golden curls cascading over the pages. Lucien approached them. "Hey, Troy," he greeted, hoping to sound casual.


Troy turned to Lucien, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Hey, Lucien! Ready for our little adventure?"


Lucien nodded. "Definitely. It's about time I start meeting new people." People who were normal. People who wouldn't hurt him the way Blaise did.


Troy clapped him on the back, offering his support. "That's the spirit! You're going to have a great time, I promise."
