    About this ebook

    "There's a boy with bat wings on my couch; could I borrow a cup of O positive?"
    When Lucia's well-trained Doberman inexplicably attacks a stranger, she stretches the rules to keep him from reporting her to the police. But the handsome Spaniard is much more than he seems -- Ramiro is over five hundred years old, drinks blood, and, by the vows he once swore, still a monk.
    And he's running from something, Lucia realizes, something he's afraid to even talk about. But what can frighten a vampire?
    Book #1 of the Lucia Noir vampire series.
    What are people saying about Lucia Noir?
    "As one would expect from Marie Sioux, Valor and the series are simultaneously an engaging story of a New Adult heroine and her paranormal network and a fun, light-hearted romp through the world of paranormal romance. Tropes never quite meet lampshades, but vampires go clubbing and werewolves get with it. It's literature that won't change your life, but will entertain you, and that's what we want most from the genre."
    -- Paige Turner, "A Marie Named Sioux: New Review"
    "With vampire romance novels piled on bookstore shelves or overflowing from virtual libraries, you might be looking for something different, a vampire series with more paranormal adventure than vampire sex -- but not too asexual. The Lucia Noir series by Marie Sioux offer urban fantasy, vampires and werewolves, paranormal romance, and the unusual choice of a celibate vampire, a former frey-caballero or knight-monk who is, centuries later, still bound by his vows -- but not disinterested in our protagonist Lucia. And as the author's persona suggests, it's a fun ride with tongue edging toward cheek but never quite edging out. For those who loved Twilight and for those who hated it, Valor and its sequels are worth a free sample and even a click-to-buy. Check 'em out."
    -- Abby Normale, "Autumn reads: Vampires vs Werewolves"
    "Vampires, werewolves, Dobermans, and rock n' roll. Bring it."
    -- Mel Larkee, "Virtue, the next Lucia Noir vampire novel, releases in October"
