Stockholm Diaries, Caroline (Stockholm Diaries #1)

In this sexy contemporary romance, a Swedish pro hockey player with a rough reputation meets the American girl next door in a steamy twist of travel and adventure. Will they be able to overcome a dark past to turn their sensual nights into something more?

Photographer Caroline Mendoza finally sheds her safe life in Michigan for adventure and a fresh start, and her first stop is Sweden. But Stockholm suddenly becomes more than just a casual stopover when Caroline discovers her reclusive next-door neighbor is ex-Red Wings player Niklas Almquist, whose high-profile alpha bad-boy image, both on and off the ice, has followed him back to Sweden. Neither Caroline nor Niklas can ignore the immediate attraction.

But while Niklas’s darker side draws her to him, she knows the sensible decision is to move on from Stockholm before she gets too attached… especially when her new partner in photojournalism, Ludvig, makes it clear that Niklas’s reputation is well deserved. And Ludvig doesn’t hide his personal interest in Caroline, either. Her time in Stockholm is running out. She must choose between what is safe and what her heart tells her is right. Is she strong enough to take the risk?
