Teo Hallberg returned to Gothenburg chasing a comeback that no longer felt like his. Once the NHL's golden boy, now he's fighting through injuries, bad press, and the quiet weight of depression he won't admit to anyone.

The last thing she needs is to get involved with a hockey player, especially one whose life is already a media circus. But Teo isn't what she expected.
