The Behind Closed Doors series covers six books published in 2020 and 2021. The titles – Depths of Destruction, Marks of Rebellion, Haze of Obedience – point toward a darker, more intense tone than Cole’s contemporary romance work, with power dynamics and obsession at the center of each story.
The series follows its cast through increasingly charged situations, with Stains of Desire and Risks of Temptation rounding out the arc in 2021. Readers who enjoy dark romance with morally complex characters will find a lot to like here.
It’s one of several dark series Cole was producing simultaneously during this period, alongside Together We Stand and the Mafia Wars books. Behind Closed Doors stands apart for its focus on psychological tension as much as physical attraction.
