Algorithm of Us

Tara builds systems for people who don't get listened to. At a Dublin ethics lab, she designs consent-driven technology that refuses to lie pretty - and when a dangerous ranking feature slips into production, she has seconds to decide what matters more: growth or people. Declan runs a civic tech start-up that's finally being noticed. Investors are circling. The board wants speed. But when Tara draws a hard line against shortcuts that would harm vulnerable users, Declan has to choose what kind of leader he wants to be - and what kind of man.
As pressure mounts, a small mistake turns into a public reckoning. With regulators watching and reputations on the line, Tara and Declan fight to protect user autonomy, rebuild trust, and prove that ethical tech doesn't have to mean failure. Between late nights, kettle tea, and quiet canal walks, something unexpected grows: a slow-burn connection built on respect, consent, and choosing courage over convenience.
Algorithm of Us is a contemporary Irish romance about power, integrity, and love in the age of data - perfect for readers who love emotionally intelligent stories, workplace slow burns, and heroines who refuse to be silenced.¹
