AlbakiReads Editorial

An archival mystery with romantic stakes

A search for publishable research turns into a dangerous investigation when history professor Jessica Wilson finds a coded message in the archives. Its apparent connection to a revolutionary-era secret society draws her into a partnership with Cal Morgan, an adjunct professor whose earlier theories she had dismissed. Their effort to establish what the message means links academic questions about evidence and American history with a continuing conspiracy—and with the attraction developing between them. The story combines romance, historical mystery, and action-adventure, using the professors’ research as the route into its central danger.

Book overview

"Thrilling and romantic in equal measure--these hot nerds solving history crimes are an absolute delight." --Jodi McAlister, author of An Academic Affair

Perfect for fans of Jo Segura and Rachel Grant, 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 onto 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 in this "perfect blend of chemistry, spice, and a historical mystery" (Adriana Anders, author of Whiteout), they'll soon become the conspiracy's latest victims...
