 Title: High Intensity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G, #2) 

Author: Freya Barker 

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: November 4, 2024

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together.

“Oh, Jillian, I’d like you to meet my son, Lucas.” I meet those pretty green eyes, now sparkling with amusement. Of course a dog named Peanut would belong to this woman. She named her cadaver dog, Emo, after all. Hell, I knew she recently moved to the area—Sloane mentioned it more than once—but I wasn’t expecting to run into her at my mother’s assisted-living home. That’s a little too close for comfort. “So you do have a first name; Lucas, huh?” “You already know each other?” Mom looks back and forth between us. “We do. How are you doing, Jillian?” She adjusts the small furball she’s holding in her arms. “Good, thanks.” I turn to my mother to explain, “Jillian and I met working on a search last summer.” Despite my immediate attempt to identify our connection as a professional one only, I see Mom’s mind already at work behind the gleam in her eyes. Great.

 

  

This is the second book in the High Mountain Trackers 2nd Generation series. This book focus on Lucas Wolff, ex FBI agent and Jillian Lederman, dog handler. Lucas left the FBI and started working for HMT, Jillian is starting over and part of that is moving to somewhere new with her pack of dogs. Lucas has been hasn't had any serious relationships for a reason but Jillian get under his skin and he can't stop thinking about him. Jillian is still haunting by the death of someone close to her. She hasn't been interested in anyone is a long time. But there is just something about Lucas that calls to her. When the two are paired together to find a missing girl things get interesting. The more time they spend around each other the harder it is to resist when they feel for each other. While they are successful in finding the girl things aren't done with the case. There is more going on and it appears the girl is still in danger. Could Jillian be in danger as well? This book was a fantastic read. I love all the characters and can't wait to read more about them. Jillian and Lucas just fit together. They understand each other and know when to push and when to just be there for each other. Lucas would do anything to protect Jillian. Fantastic job once again Freya.
