Jej sedemročnú hereckú kariéru vo filme, divadle a televízii prerušila choroba. Nútená prestávka ju ako dvadsaťtriročnú priviedla k písaniu.

Prvých sedem kníh napísala ako Lucinda Edmondsová, od roku 2000 publikovala už len pod menom Lucinda Riley. Počet jej románov presiahol dvadsiatku, pravidelne sa umiestňovala v rebríčku bestsellerov New York Times. Jej romány preložili do dvadsiatich ôsmich jazykov a vyšli v tridsiatich ôsmich krajinách. Mimoriadne úspešnú sériu historicko-romantických románov Sedem sestier, kde sa umne prelínajú fiktívne udalosti a osobnosti s historickými, začala písať roku 2014.

Keď stretne charizmatického hudobníka a vydedenca Cona Dalyho, jej život sa konečne zmení. Utečie s ním do Londýna, kde ich čaká život, o akom obaja vždy snívali – sláva, koncerty, úspech.
