PROVIDENCE FALLS - CATCHING UP WITH STARS LACHLAN QUARMBY and KATIE STEVENS

An Epic Love Story Comes to Hallmark! Get your hearts ready for, Providence Falls

An all-new, original 3-Part Special Event adaptation of Providence Falls, the captivating book series by best-selling author Jude Deveraux and Tara Sheets, will premiere on Hallmark August 2nd. The special stars Katie Stevens (The Bold Type, Criminal), Lachlan Quarmby (Allegiance, The Watchful Eye) and Evan Roderick (Spinning Out, Aurora Teagarden).

In 1844 Ireland, Liam O’Conner (Quarmby), a rogue and a thief, falls in love with Cora McLeod (Stevens), a fiery but sheltered aristocrat’s daughter, who is promised in marriage to a man she barely knows. Their plan to make a new life together in America is thwarted, and the consequences of Liam and Cora’s unlikely love ripples through time, causing everyone to relive the events of the past.

Now the Angels of Destiny need Liam’s help to set things right and if he doesn’t succeed, his very soul is on the line. They transport Liam to present day to help this incarnation of Cora fall in love with Finn (Roderick), the man she was destined to marry in 1844. Liam would give anything to reunite with his beloved Cora but only he retains the memories of their past together.

Now a cop in Providence Falls, Oregon, Cora feels an inexplicable connection to Liam, who is introduced as her new partner. And as they tackle a big case together, Liam sees the same passion and adventurous nature in Cora that he had fallen in love with. With everyone’s lives at stake, Liam must overcome unexpected and otherworldly obstacles in his mission. Perhaps none as powerful as his own undying love for Cora.
