Skiing Into Love

a romantic comedy novella with a touch of Sweden

By: Janice Bayne, HTJ Fiction Publications

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

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:

1. Skiing is nothing like reading a manual.

2. 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.
