Travel to Italy, France, Greece and Malta this June with four all-new romantic movies coming to the Hallmark Channel.
For Love & Honey
Andrew Walker (Three Wise Men and a Baby, Curious Caterer Mysteries) and Margaret Clunie (Victoria, Andor) star in For Love and Honey. The movie kicks off Hallmark’s Passport to Love series of movies. The film was shot entirely on location in Malta. Directed by Kevin Fair, from a script by Michelle Ricci based on a story by Caitlin D. Fryers.
Austen (A. Walker) is an American archeologist following a lead in Malta in hopes of securing a project that will guarantee his tenure. Eva (M. Clunie) is a local Maltese beekeeper who has followed in her later mother’s footsteps in running her family apiary. When a “bee-mergency” leads Eva to the local library, she and Austen discover that the spot where the hive is hiding just might hold the clues to a major local archaeological mystery.
Though Austen is convinced of the find’s importance, the bees are nationally protected and he is only permitted to continue studying the location under Eva’s watch. Though Eva is initially reluctant to help Austen, who has demonstrated an aversion to bees, her knowledge of the island turns out to be exactly what Austen needs to research this new find.
As Eva helps Austen, he gains a new appreciation for the ecological and cultural significance of the bees she has devoted her life to and they begin to fall in love. However, it turns out that the biggest thing standing in their way might just be history.
“For Love & Honey” premieres Saturday, June 1 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel.
Savoring Paris
When the heart overrides the head it leads to a Parisian adventure filled with fashion, fromage and romance when Bethany Joy Lenz (A Biltmore Christmas, One Tree Hill), Stanley Weber (Monsieur Spade, Drops of Gold) and Ben Wiggins (The Sandman, Hollyoaks) star in Savoring Paris. The film was shot partly on location in Paris. Directed by Clare Niederpruem from a teleplay by Joie Botkin based on the book ‘Fromage À Trois’ by Victoria Brownlee.
Ella (B. J. Lenz) is a burned out exec at an American food chain who realizes the happiest time of her life was during a trip to Paris after college. Dreaming of the best cheese she ever had and ready to start fresh, Ella quits her job and jets off to the City of Lights to recapture that feeling and rejuvenate as she considers what’s next.
Free from a job that made her unhappy and away from her well-meaning mom (Lucy Newman-Williams) who always urges her to make safe and practical life choices, Ella embraces her newfound joie de vivre. While there, Ella is swept into a social life courtesy of her charming landlord and new friend Clotilde (Manon Azem) and soon finds herself being courted by Clotilde’s cousin Gaston (B. Wiggins), a dashing local.
Meanwhile, Ella begins to forge a friendship – or possibly more – with Serge (S. Weber), the prickly proprietor of the local fromagerie as she navigates this new chapter in her life. But just as she decides what she wants in life – and who she wants to be with – cultural differences put those plans in question.
“Savoring Paris” premieres Saturday, June 8 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel.
A Greek Recipe for Romance
After a recent setback, Abby (Danielle C. Ryan) heads to Greece to visit her mom and decide what’s next. While there, she meets Theo (Rafael Kariotakis) and they team up to open a restaurant. But will Abby be able to stay?
