Liam Bradley, portrayed by Dylan Bruce, is a successful romance author who has published three novels under the pseudonym Gabriel August, yet remains a mystery to his many fans. Initially, he wrote his first book to mend his heart after a breakup, but over time, he has grown weary of crafting purely romantic fantasies. This sentiment is noticed by Sophie Atkinson, played by Amy Acker, a kind yet candid book reviewer he unexpectedly encounters on a flight. Their paths cross in Portland, Oregon, where Liam seeks inspiration for his latest work, and they cautiously start a relationship. However, Liam’s agent has planned a public unveiling of Gabriel August’s real identity, a fact unknown to Sophie. As Liam continues to hide the truth from her, he finds himself in an increasingly difficult situation. Will their budding romance endure once his secret is exposed?
