Y’all, I have been waiting impatiently for a week to share this cover with you. I thought I would burst before those last few buy links went live. It’s embarrassing, but I have refreshed the vendors’ sites so many times, my fingers simply must be calloused.
However, at long last, I can reveal the gorgeous cover for You, Me, and the Conspiracy to the world.
The art is by Robin Har. Do yourself a favor and check out her portfolio. I’m so grateful to her for her work and to the sales and designs teams at Atria/Simon & Schuster. I honestly can’t stop staring at it.
But wait–I have to share the back cover copy too:
Perfect for fans of Jo Segura, You, Me, & the Conspiracy is an academic adventure romance that finds two history professors trying to unmask a deadly secret society.
After a bruising book rejection, tenure-track history professor Jessica Wilson is scrambling for something new to publish to secure her spot at the top of the academic food chain. While researching in the archives, she discovers a coded message written by one of the founding fathers with the power to change her—and the world’s—understanding of American history forever. But first, she’s got to prove it’s real.
Desperate for answers, Jess searches out Calloway Morgan, a Harvard PhD student turned adjunct professor. Cal was forced to leave graduate school after presenting theories about a shadowy revolutionary organization. Jess heard his conference presentation and thought his findings were absurd, but now, she believes he was on something.
With their fates intertwined by their discoveries, the two begin to work together, but danger lurks around every corner. The clandestine fraternity that they’ve uncovered still exists and is ready to kill. With it hot on their heels, the embers of Jess and Cal’s attraction grow. But unless they can make their findings public, they’ll soon become the conspiracy’s latest victims…
Sigh, I just couldn’t be more excited about this book. I’m deep in copyedits on it, and all I can say is it’s absolutely different from any else I’ve written…while also being very extremely me.
If all this sounds enticing, and I hope it does, You, Me, and the Conspiracy will be published in paperback, eBook, and eAudio on November 10, 2026. If you’d like to preorder it, you can do so at Simon & Schuster, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Indigo, and Audible, and there are more links at Books2Read. You can also add it to your Goodreads shelves.
