Born to a teenage Randy Orton, River Lennox Orton has spent her entire life trying not to be defined by her last name.
Under the bright lights of WWE, she's Lennox Rose. The chaotic, red-and-black-haired Harlequin of Judgment Day. The Riot Angel. The (unofficial) Bratz Doll of the WWE. She goes by many names. Like her father, she is loud, reckless, impossible to ignore, and dangerously good at hiding everything she actually feels. Especially when it comes to her best friend, Rhea Ripley.
After Liv Morgan destroys and rebuilds Judgment Day from the inside out and Dominik Mysterio betrays Rhea at SummerSlam, River walks away from the group without hesitation, choosing Rhea over everything else. As the two try to rebuild their lives outside the faction alongside Damian Priest, River's longtime crush only grows stronger.
There's just one problem. Rhea has no idea.
Or at least she doesn't until everyone around them starts noticing the way River looks at her, the way she's always there, and the way her entire world seems to revolve around Rhea without even realizing it.
But as feelings begin to surface and lines between friendship and something much more dangerous start to blur, both women are forced to confront the one thing scarier than heartbreak: Ruining the most important relationship of their lives.
