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.
