About the story
Laura O'Brien is a wealthy widow in her fifties who has quietly accepted that love is behind her - until she meets Ali Kurmi, a 35-year-old British-Indian songwriter and corporate DJ with a troubled past of his own. Their connection is immediate and undeniable, and together they begin to create a life filled with creativity, passion and new purpose.
But while Laura and Ali are building something real, danger is circling.
Stephanie, Laura's outwardly charming but utterly ruthless stepdaughter, is convinced she's been cheated out of the lifestyle she deserves. Consumed by greed and resentment, and increasingly unstable, she is determined to get her hands on Laura's money - no matter who she has to hurt, or how far she has to go. For Stephanie, failure simply isn't an option.
If you enjoy heartfelt May-December romance, emotional age gap love stories and grounded, real world characters, the Fatal Equation audiobook brings all of that to life in vivid, intimate detail.
