Riley Flowers, an Amazon KDP publisher specializing in contemporary romance, was established in 2021 and has expanded into a catalog of 164 titles across various languages. The publisher utilizes popular romance tropes, including themes like billionaire romances and fake marriages, and often releases series within shared universes to enhance reader engagement. Over the period from October 2025 to September 2026, the business achieved $640,519 in KDP royalties, with a recurring net profit margin of 56.8%, reflecting a 75% increase in revenue compared to the prior year.
