Riley’s standalone novels span her full career, from early romances published in the 1990s to later historical dramas with dual-timeline structures. Many of these books center on a house, estate, or location with a hidden past that a modern-day protagonist gradually uncovers.

Titles like The Lavender Garden, The Midnight Rose, and The Angel Tree follow this pattern, moving between present-day characters and historical events connected to the same place. The Murders at Fleat House (2022), published posthumously, marks a departure into mystery territory.
