C. R. Riley writes emotionally raw romance about imperfect people finding connection in the middle of chaos. From high-stakes suspense to small moments that hit deep, her stories are grounded in heartache, healing, and the slow, powerful journey to love. She writes across tropes, guided by the belief that every kind of romance—messy, steamy, unexpected—deserves its place on the page.

Her characters often carry scars, secrets, or second chances, and she doesn’t shy away from life’s harder moments. But at the core of every story is hope, intimacy, and the kind of love that makes all the wreckage worth it.
