The Book

Fifteen years of secrets. Once chance for justice.

Just as wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden begins to envision a future with Blake Lawson, the ghosts of her past return with a vengeance. The murder of her parents has shadowed her for fifteen years, but a new threat brings the cold case into the terrifying present. A trained leopard--a chilling embodiment of Paradise's deepest fears--is now stalking her.

Haunted by resurfacing memories, Paradise, Blake, and her newfound brother, Drew, follow a trail of clues that leads them into a web of dark family secrets. The deeper they dig, the more shocking the connections become, linking their families to a dangerous conspiracy that someone is still willing to kill to protect.

With every step closer to the truth, the killer becomes more desperate. Paradise, Blake, and Drew must race to expose a murderer who has remained hidden for fifteen years, but this time, they are the ones being stalked. If they can't unmask the killer, the past will destroy both the fragile future Paradise and Blake are trying to build and the family she has finally found with her brother.

A conspiracy of lemurs is a family. But a conspiracy of people can be deadly.

Colleen Coble's Conspiracy combines gripping suspense with slow-burn romance and includes intriguing mysteries from both the past and present, sabotage and danger, second-chance romance, found family, and themes of overcoming pain and how the past doesn't have to define you.

Book Review

Colleen Coble has proven once again with this why she is one of my go to authors when it comes to romantic suspense. I have read a LOT of suspense books over the years, but a leopard trained to kill? Well, that is certainly a new one to me and added a rather unique element of danger right from the start... that sense of danger carried on throughout the story, keeping me at the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next. There were so many twists and turns to keep my guessing, and I loved it. This is the third book in the Sanctuary series, and this is definitely one you'll want to read from the start. All three books follow Paradise and Blake's romance and builds from the last. As such, theirs is definitely a bit of a slow burn, but one that I've really enjoyed. If you love Christian romantic suspense, this is a series you won't want to miss!
