It’s Complicated came out in 2020 with all six books published that same year, which gives the series a cohesive feel. The titles range from Crossing the Line and Don’t Forget Me to Sins of the Father and Wrapped In Perfection, suggesting a mix of romantic tension and heavier emotional undercurrents.

The series sits in a different register than Cole’s darker mafia and power-dynamic work. The focus is on contemporary relationships where real-life complications – family history, past mistakes, competing loyalties – get in the way of what the characters want.

More Than Paper and Committed to You suggest that commitment is at the heart of this series, and that the characters have to earn their way toward it. It’s a solid choice for readers who want emotional depth alongside their romance.
