Pine River 

In a heartbreaking case that has stunned the small community of Pine River, Minnesota, parents Darcy Ronald Cross, 57, and Heather Lynn Cross, 49, face felony charges following the tragic death of their 10-year-old daughter, Cecilia. The nonverbal girl, who lived with autism and pica disorder—a condition that compels individuals to eat non-food items—died on August 25, 2025, after becoming…

Pine River by Tijan is now live!

Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me.

And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy.

Except they weren't alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him.

Scout Raiden.

Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing.

He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up.

The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

It was lust-want-must have-loathing-hate all at once. I was affected.

And I couldn't have that. No way.

Not after what I'd just left in Cedra Valley.

I didn't care how much money his uncle had.

I didn't care that it seemed every girl wanted him.

I didn't care about his reputation as an up-and-coming fighter.

Or the promise of how those hands would make me feel.

What I did care about was staying as far away from Scout as possible.

Because the promise of his presence, the heat that was going to turn the light back on in my world wasn't a promise at all.

It was a threat.

I wasn't going to survive Scout Raiden.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Addicting, emotional, engaging, sexy, raw, angsty, and it brought all the feels! I couldn’t put this multi-romance trope down. I was consumed with this beautifully, written story. Their back story will bring you to your knees, because these two have not had an easy past. But then fate brings them together. And their sassy banter, dark looks, hate filled rage is just so exhilarating as they fight their magnetic attraction. They are both so perfect for each other, and I think that is why their attraction is so overwhelming. The secondary characters bring so much to the story and I enjoyed getting to know all these new characters and their friendships/relationships as well as their interactions and their loyalty to one another.

Ramsay Williams and her mother moved to Pine River for a new start and to be closer to family for support. Leaving the past in the rear view mirror as they try to push it from their minds. Starting her senior year at Pine River High School, Ramsay had her protective, triplet cousins at the top of the school hierarchy to stand by her. But what she didn’t count on was him, her cousin’s hot, best friend, Scout Raiden. But she needed to blend in so, she needed to stay away from him. Not just for her sake but for her cousins as well. She would have to fight her feelings to survive his attraction, and she wasn’t so sure she could. She hated him, but she wanted him so, so, bad!

“He was right. We were enemies. I needed to remember that.”

Scout Raiden was the epitome of a bad boy, tattoos, muscle and a broody attitude. He moved to Pine River a year ago, to live with his Uncle, when he first started getting noticed by the UFC. He was a MMA fighter, that every girl wanted and every boy wanted to be. But Scout only cared about fighting, training and his friends. But when Ramsay Williams his best friend’s cousin, starts at his school, he knows she is off-limits, and he needs to stay away from her, or it could cost him everything. But what happens when their hate starts to turn to lust? Will Scout be able to stay away? You will want to read this one to get all the details!!!

“I’d had no idea I needed his touch so badly. I thought I knew. I’d been wrong. So very, really wrong.”

I loved watching them fight their feelings until they couldn’t anymore. Their sizzling connection was…dark, powerful, but full of warmth, tenderness, magic and love, helping heal the broken pieces in each of them. It was exhilarating and consuming! I loved every moment of their journey! Highly recommend this story!
