STRENGTH Cover/Book Trailer Reveal!

The cover/trailer reveal is finally here! I can't tell you guys how excited I am. Seriously, I'm bouncing up and down in my seat. :) Without further ado...
   Cover:  

Ta da! Remember Wallace? ;)
 
   About the Book:  

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, she’s stunned. Wallace Blake is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—except he can’t touch her. His uncontrollable strength, a so-called gift from his bloodline, makes every interaction dangerous. And with a secret, supernatural war brewing among his kind, there’s no time to work it out. To keep Wallace in her life, Rena will have to risk a whole lot more than her heart.
