Conspiring is the third novel in the acclaimed THIS Series by J.B. McGee, continuing an emotional contemporary romance that explores the power of love, forgiveness, and hope.

As old wounds resurface and new obstacles threaten the future they've worked so hard to build, they must decide whether love is strong enough to withstand the unexpected.

Like the other books in the THIS Series, Conspiring blends heartfelt romance with authentic emotion, strong family bonds, loyal friendships, and moments of humor that balance life's heavier struggles. Readers who enjoy character-driven contemporary romance with emotional depth will find themselves invested in every triumph, setback, and hard-earned victory.

J.B. McGee is known for writing stories filled with imperfect characters who face real-life challenges while finding hope, healing, and happily ever afters.

If you enjoy emotional contemporary romance featuring character growth, second chances, family dynamics, and uplifting endings, Conspiring is a story that will stay with you long after the final page.

Conspiring was not anything like what I expected and I say that in a good way. I was SHOCKED!!! JB really blew me away with the path this story took plus the sex scenes. I was quick to tell her that I enjoyed those surprising steamy scenes and I want MORE!!!
