Finley Creek: Vintage Romantic Suspense is a four-book sub-series within Calle J. Brookes’s Finley Creek world. As the name suggests, these books are set in an earlier era in the fictional town of Finley Creek, telling the stories of the previous generation of families.
The sub-series shares two titles with the main Finley Creek line (Her Best Friend’s Keeper and Shelter from the Storm), which act as crossover points between the vintage and modern timelines. The newer additions, Jude & that Barratt Man (2022) and If You Remember When (2024), expand the vintage setting further, tying into the broader Barratt County world that also appears in The Hillers of Barratt County.
Readers who have already worked through the main Finley Creek series will enjoy seeing the backstories of characters they already know, while newcomers can start with either sub-series since the stories stand on their own.
