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's days turned into a haze of restless turmoil. With each passing moment, he couldn't stop thinking about Blaise. It became difficult for Lucien to focus on anything else.


He tried to lose himself in the his violin practice, but the music seemed hollow. His book studies held no meaning. Lucien's mind remained locked in a relentless cycle of thoughts, endlessly replaying the fragments of their last conversation.


'He seemed different,' Lucien thought, tracing his fingers along the strings of his violin absentmindedly. 'There was something he wasn't telling me.'


He couldn't shake the haunting feeling that Blaise was enduring even more suffering, but felt compelled to keep it hidden from him.
