Dangerously Confident

Nayah Kyndell Hoffmeister has already graduated from Coastal High, has amazing friends, and a boyfriend who's stuck by her side for three years.

Life should be simple.

Too bad she's also known as Velvet Hex.

Most villains think she's just another heroine in a cape.

They're wrong.

Nayah is kind, loyal, and fiercely protective of the people she cares about. Her teammates have been with her since day one, and they know her better than anyone.

They know when she's scared.

They know when she's angry.

And most importantly, they know when to give her space.

The villains don't.

They don't respect boundaries.

They don't leave certain words alone.

And they definitely don't know what happens when they push Velvet Hex too far.

Then there are the four creatures.

Villains laugh at them. They act like they aren't scary.

Right up until the creatures start chasing them.

That's usually when all that confidence disappears.

Everyone knows the legends surrounding the animals, but only Nayah knows their one weakness.

She's led them her entire life, and she'll do anything to protect them.

There are five words that should never be said.

Five words capable of changing everything.

Because when trouble comes looking for Nayah Hoffmeister, she doesn't back down.

She stands her ground.

And that's what makes her so dangerously confident.
