ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 17, 2025

Since taking over the veterinary clinic in Libby, Montana last year, Janey Richards has been burning the candle at both ends. She’s grateful she is busy, but there has barely been any time to build a life outside of work. To help pay down her debt faster, she agrees to take on responsibility for the livestock at Libby’s annual rodeo, but perhaps she should’ve thought twice about the added stress.

Although, her personal life is definitely looking up.

JD Watike never thought he’d end up following in his father’s footsteps, but he’s found his stride these past six years as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team. He enjoys the simplicity of small-town living, which has only gotten more interesting since Doc Richards appeared on the scene.

Spending most of the past year patiently observing from a distance, the time feels right for him to make his move.

Or at least to clear up some misunderstandings.

The opportunity presents itself sooner than expected, when the pretty veterinarian stumbles onto some serious criminal activity at the Libby Roundup, and a young woman disappears from the grounds, he has plenty of cause to stay glued to her side.

REVIEW: HIGH DENSITY is the third instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary adult HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS HMT G2 erotic, romantic suspense series, a second generation spin off, set in the author’s HIGH MOUNTAIN TRACKERS series. This is thirty-eight year old, veterinarian Dr. Janey Richards, and thirty-four year old, rancher JD Watike’s story line. HIGH DENSITY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (JD and Janey) HIGH DENSITY follows two pathways. Dr, Janey Richards has been asked to serve as the resident veterinarian for Libby’s annual livestock rodeo but from the outset animals becomes ill, die or go missing, and Janey is determined to find out why. With the help of local ranched and a member of the High Mountain Trackers JD Watike, Janey calls in local law enforcement and ultimately the FBI, that will place a target on both of their backs. Meanwhile, several local women are missing, and eventually found dead, and the annual rodeo is the perfect foil to hide a killer’s activities.

The world building follows the building relationship between Janey and JD; the search for a killer; and the possibility of something more nefarious taking aim at the livestock and cattle. While Janey discovers the how and why, law enforcement must begins an investigation in the who and where.

The relationship between Janey and JD begins as friends to lovers but the start of their relationship is mired in a misperception and misunderstanding. Janey is a bit of a workaholic, as the only local veterinarian in Libby Montana, and the overwhelming number of cases is questionable at best. As JD begins a slow seduction of our story line heroine, Janey must come to terms and accept that there is more to JD than meets the eye. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and test.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting character including the return of Sloane and Dan, Jillian and Wolff; several members from the original High Mountain Trackers series-Jonas and Alex, Jackson, Sully & Pippa, and Bo; JD’s sister Una, and their parents James and Ama; FBI Agents Shane Wilcox, and Stephanie Kramer; Sheriff Ewing; Janey’s assistant Frankie Bastian , and veterinarian student Logan Osborne. The requisite evil has many faces.

HIGH DENSITY is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and jealousy, family and friendships, relationships and love. The premise is dramatic and intriguing; the romance is impassioned and seductive; the characters are determined and charismatic.
