Strength 

(Mark of Nexus #1)

by Carrie Butler  

 

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

MY TEASERS:

 “See, this is what I like,” Cole interjected with a laugh, dusting himself off. “One second she’s all timid and then reeoowr! Hellcat.”

Cole brushed at his pants and stood, pulling away from my strike range. “Be a good girl and sit tight. I’m sure somebody will be along to find you sooner or later. You have a roommate, right?” “You think this will stop me?” I asked, trying to find the balance to stand with my ankles bound.
