Riley Monroe is a self-published author of erotic fiction, known for crafting compelling stories with rich character development and long, immersive story arcs. Her work allows readers to truly connect with her characters as they evolve, grow, and navigate complex relationships. Her debut series, The Alise Taylor Stories, introduces readers to Alise Taylor—a successful author turned film producer—who retreats to the tranquil Welsh mountains to rediscover herself and focus on her next novel. In Guardian Angel, the first installment, Alise’s quiet escape takes an unexpected turn when a scenic run leads to trouble and an encounter with a mysterious rescuer. But can she trust this stranger, and is he truly her “guardian angel”? Throughout the series, Riley explores Alise’s relationships—both romantic and otherwise—as well as her struggles with feeling like an outsider due to her intersex identity. Central to Riley’s storytelling is the theme of belonging: the fight to define oneself and find acceptance, particularly in matters of intimacy and love. Praised for balancing sensuality with emotional depth, Riley’s work goes beyond titillation to examine rejection, inclusion, and the complexities of human connection. Riley writes from her home in the UK, where her cat offers occasional, albeit unhelpful, “assistance.”
