Paige’s mom wants her to follow in her footsteps – she owns a big conglomerate company but Paige just wants to be a writer. When Joan makes it clear she wants to sell Atlas Publishing because of their lack of clients and subsequent income, Paige sees it as an opportunity to give it one last go, except this time she’ll write under a pseudonym, so no one – not even Atlas Publishing’s last hope Daniel – will know that it’s her family who poses the threat in the first place.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is one of several Hallmark-style films director Michael Kennedy shot in rapid succession during 2021-2022, often reusing crew and Toronto locations.
The 'pseudonym to save a press' plot oddly mirrors real publishing history — Victoria Holt and others used pen names to bypass genre prejudice, though rarely with this much romantic entanglement.
