The Green Valley Chronicles Universe is a large collaborative project organized by Penny Reid, in which multiple romance authors contribute standalone novels set in the same small Tennessee town. The shared world launched in 2019 with Baking Me Crazy and expanded rapidly, reaching over 40 books across subseries from different contributing authors by 2023.
Juliette Cross contributes through her Green Valley Heroes subseries, but the broader universe includes books by many other authors writing across different subgenres of romance — from librarians and bakers to park rangers and local athletes. The town itself, Green Valley, is drawn with enough consistency across books that regular readers develop a sense of the community’s geography, recurring businesses, and extended families.
Because every book is a standalone romance, there is no fixed reading order for the collection as a whole. Readers typically start with whichever premise or author appeals to them, then explore the wider universe from there.
