Day of the Storm

July 29th was a day that changed Finley Creek, Texas forever. No one could escape the storm unscathed. Day of the Storm is a collection of three novelettes by Calle J. Brookes, set during the events of the Finley Creek: Disaster mini-series. In Storm Warning, Sean Callum has a secret love for his best friend's sister, Autumn Evers, a forensic scientist who sees Sean as nothing more than a nuisance. But when an F4 tornado shatters their world, trapping them in the rubble, Sean must find a way to reveal his true feelings, hoping it's not too late to win Autumn's heart amidst the chaos. In Storm Damage, destruction reigns after an F4 tornado devastates the Texas State Police building. Inside, Detective Mike Evers and Assistant M.E. Daryn Mabry are forced to set aside their tumultuous history. With Mike's sister and others they love trapped beneath the debris, the pair must cooperate to orchestrate a daring rescue, battling not only the elements but their own unresolved tensions. And in Storm Threat, Radio producer Brooke Jacobs masks her vulnerability with bravado, but when an F4 tornado traps her and the dismissive meteorologist Houston Evers at their station, her façade begins to crumble. Brooke faces not only the fury of the storm but a more personal danger right there in the station. Now, Houston must protect Brooke from the storm outside and the growing threat within, seeing her in a light he never expected. Each novelette features a complete story of approximately 70 pages, and features characters mentioned in the Finley Creek: Romantic Suspense series of novels. The Finley Creek series contains a large cast of characters, dangerous moments, multiple scenes of violence, adventure, dark criminal behavior, cursing by heroes, heroines and villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers, including assaults, abductions, mass shootings, stalking, child abuse and other dark themes—but good always wins out in the end, guaranteed.
