The Skavanga Diamonds is a four-book Harlequin Presents series centered on a family-owned diamond mine in a fictional Scandinavian town. The three Skavanga sisters, who run the mine together, each get their own love story as powerful men enter their world. Diamond in the Desert (2013) opens the series by bringing a desert sheikh to the frozen north, creating an interesting culture clash.
The Flaw in His Diamond, The Purest of Diamonds?, and His Forbidden Diamond round out the series, published through 2014. Each title plays on diamond-related wordplay, and the mining business provides a less common backdrop for Harlequin romance. The Skavanga sisters are portrayed as capable businesswomen who built something real, which gives the heroines more professional authority than some category romance protagonists typically have. The contrast between the cold Scandinavian setting and the heat of the romances is a recurring element that sets this series apart from Stephens’ sun-drenched Italian and Brazilian books.
