Cover reveal for Honorable Disgrace

Today, I'm delighted to reveal the cover for Stephanie N. Pitman's YA contemporary novel, HONORABLE DISGRACE. My crit partner's debut will be released on 2nd February 2015 and is the story of how a young girl overcomes a betrayal and *trigger warning* a brutal rape. Stephanie aims to give hope to other victims of rape, and I admire her greatly for her courage in writing this novel and sending it out into the world, as the story is based on her own experience.


Angie Adams joins the powerlifting team her junior year, but she has more in mind than just toning up - like getting closer to her crush, football star Cory Jacob, who, as luck would have it, is assigned as her spotting partner. When Angie's feelings are unexpectedly returned, her life is suddenly filled with the giddy electricity of first love. But why, then, does Angie get a little flutter when her older and very hot boss, Brad, looks at her?
 
Angie seems to have everything going her way, until her world is torn apart by her sister's betrayal which leads to a brutal rape. Heartbroken and reeling in the aftermath, Angie has to find an internal strength to rival her record-breaking power lifts if she ever wants to feel worthy of love again.
