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 alone at the corner of the kitchen, his fingers gently tapping the rim of his glass as he drowned his thoughts in the swirling amber liquid. Lost in his own world, he barely noticed Lily approaching him until her voice broke through the haze.


"Lucien, you were incredible on the violin," Lily said with a warm smile as she leaned against the counter next to him. "You have such talent."


Lucien turned his gaze towards her, nodding to acknowledge her compliment. "Thank you, Lily. I appreciate that."


Lily's eyes sparkled with admiration, and something more. She moved closer, her voice taking on a flirtatious tone. "You know, Lucien, you're not just talented. You're also quite handsome. I can't help but be drawn to you."
