Burned by Love, Lifetime's upcoming feature, brings a new twist to cliched romance stories. After the heartwarming romances we witnessed on the channel this holiday season, it is time to get back to something different. With this in mind, Lifetime is bringing its viewers a brand new romance, seasoned with some thrills.
A mystery thriller, Burned by Love tells the story of a divorced woman who thinks that she has finally met her perfect match on an online dating site. However, things take a dark turn when she discovers that the man she thinks is the love of her life is actually a scammer who is harboring the intention of destroying her life. Things get worse when the man turns into a violent stalker when the woman decides to take steps against him.
