Skiing Into Love: a romantic comedy novella with a touch of Sweden

By HTJ Fiction Publications and Janice Bayne

A short, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about falling down, standing up, and finding love in the most unexpected place...

Gerald Hammersmith, a 47-year-old workaholic oil executive, has never taken a real vacation-not unless business conferences count. But when his company forces him to take a month off before he burns out completely, Gerald chooses what he thinks will be a productive getaway: a beginner's ski package in Hemavan, Sweden.

Enter Freja Gustaffson, a sparkly, spirited 23-year-old ski instructor who hugs first, thinks later, and only speaks English about 60% of the time. Gerald quickly learns two things:

Skiing is nothing like reading a manual.

Freja is unlike anyone he's ever met.

From disastrous chairlifts to robotic dancing, from viral wipeout videos to cross-country misadventures, Gerald's vacation becomes a whirlwind of chaos, comedy, and unexpected warmth. And when Freja's jealous ex-boyfriend Edvin starts causing trouble, Gerald must decide whether he's ready to fight for something he's never had before-a life filled with joy, balance, and maybe even love.

Heartfelt, zany, and bursting with snowy charm, Skiing Into Love is a cozy winter rom-com about discovering that happiness isn't found in spreadsheets... it's found on the slopes.

Perfect for fans of lighthearted humor, quirky characters, and slow-burn romance in snowy settings.
