When Patrick O’Sullivan arrives in New South Wales carrying grief, guilt, and the ghost of his dead sister, the last thing he expects is to find connection in Aisling, a young Irishwoman determined to claim a future of her own.

Hi, I’m Emilie Turner. I’m an Australian author who loves writing stories with strong emotional undercurrents, atmospheric settings, and characters who feel real. I’m drawn to stories that explore romance (especially slow-burn!), resilience, history and fantasy.
