Warm, gripping, and genuinely dangerous — the Fatal Equation trilogy features a smart, successful woman in her fifties navigating love, grief, and a threat she never saw coming.
Most romantic suspense puts its heroines in their twenties or early thirties. Fatal Equation gives you Laura O'Brien — a wealthy widow in her fifties, sharp, self-sufficient, and entirely unprepared for what happens when she meets Ali Kurmi, a 35-year-old British-Indian songwriter with a troubled past of his own.
This is not a story about a woman rediscovering herself through a younger man. It is a story about two complicated adults building something real — while a ruthless enemy works quietly to destroy them both.
Set between rural Hampshire and County Tipperary, with a companion soundtrack woven into the narrative, Fatal Equation is romantic suspense for readers who want emotional depth, genuine danger, and characters who feel like people they might actually know.
All books are standalone. Start anywhere — or read in order for the full journey.
Laura O'Brien didn't expect to fall in love again — certainly not with a man twenty years younger. But when she meets Ali Kurmi, everything changes. And so does the danger.
Available in eBook, paperback and audiobook.
Order on AmazonLaura and Ali have finally built the life they dreamed of. But far away, a ruthless enemy is quietly closing in. The second book is darker, grippier — and the villain is extraordinary.

"An intertwining tale of a love that doesn't conform to society's self-limiting rules. Add in tales of the music business and some unhinged family members and you have a love story which is just so much more than most in this genre."— Richard, Amazon Review
