Rachel Burton invente des histoires depuis aussi longtemps qu'elle s'en souvienne et a toujours rêvé d'être écrivaine jusqu'à ce que la vie s'interpose. Après avoir obtenu un diplôme en études classiques et un autre en littérature anglaise, elle s'est accidentellement lancée dans une carrière juridique, mais a finalement réussi à écrire son premier livre pendant ses pauses déjeuner. Les récits de Burton explorent souvent de profondes émotions humaines et des dynamiques interpersonnelles complexes, en se concentrant sur des personnages psychologiquement riches et un développement de intrigue captivant. Elle crée ses histoires d'une voix distinctive, utilisant une prose magistrale pour créer des expériences littéraires immersives et résonnantes.
