One country. Endless wrong turns. All the right reasons to fall in love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to It Happened Up North<\/em>, a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy series
where each story follows a new couple hitting the road across Canada
and stumbling headfirst into mishaps, misadventures, and maybe\u2026 true love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether they\u2019re stranded in Saskatchewan, washed out in Nova Scotia,
or stuck in a canoe with their worst (or maybe best?) enemy,
these characters learn quickly: the journey never<\/em> goes as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But between roadside donut stops, wild travel companions,
and unexpected sparks, they just might find that love has a funny way of showing up
especially when you’re lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet, Just Kisses romantic comedy. <\/strong>
Full of heart. Packed with hilarious detours. <\/strong>
All proudly written by Canadian authors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
