Cecelia "Cece" Gattuso was raised on one rule: Trust no one.

When a routine deal for her father, Mouse, turns into a bloodbath, she's left stranded in the volatile streets of East Highland.

Now, her survival depends on a quiet, lethal boy her father warned her to stay away from.

But in a world of turf wars and shifting loyalties, she has to figure out who is more dangerous-the enemies hunting her, or the boy keeping her alive.

More than a name | Ryder Lyons story  by Bellaseabooks
27 parts Ongoing
Bella's POV I hated the way his voice cracked on that last word. Because it wasn't just Ryder asking me to talk-it was Ryder asking me not to shut him out. Ryder, who'd been in my life since before I knew what heartbreak even was. Ryder, who'd carried my secrets, my laughter, my tears. And now... this. I opened my mouth, closed it, then whispered, "Everything feels different." His brows furrowed. "Different how?" "You," I breathed. "Me. Us. Sunday happened and now I can't stop thinking about it, and it scares me, Ryder. Because if this changes us, I don't know if I can handle it." ⸻ Ryder's POV The ache in her voice nearly undid me. I stepped closer, rain starting to spit lightly from the sky, cool drops landing on my hoodie. "You think it hasn't changed me?" I said, my voice low, rough. "Bella, I haven't thought about anything else since Sunday. Not practice. Not the game. Nothing. Just you." Her eyes snapped to mine, wide and uncertain. The drizzle grew heavier, pattering against the pavement, clinging to her hair. "Ryder..." she whispered. "I don't care if it's scary," I said, my chest heaving. "I don't care if it changes everything. Because it's always been you, Bella. Always." And then-before she could argue, before my fear could choke me-I closed the space between us and kissed her. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ "More Than a Name: The Ryder Lyons Story." A strong blend of football, personal growth, character-driven drama, faith, and his evolving relationship with Bella. A smart, shy, book-loving girl from his hometown who becomes one of the most important people in his life ✨guys this is for fun, In no way I'm saying this is how Ryder acts, please be nice and respectful to others 🐶✨
