Synopsis of Seduced By A Stranger (Ring of Deception, He Loves You Not)

LMN introduces viewers to Julie Stevens, a 39-year-old art gallery owner in Washington. She’s beautiful, smart, and has a talented eye for spotting stunning selections for her gallery. It’s an upscale place located in Sorrento, a funky Pacific Northwest town located right in the heart of Washington’s art district. It is there that she meets a handsome stranger named Martin Hale. The 40-year-old gent is both distinguished and smooth. He wants to buy art for his new rental home. And after engaging in a brief conversation, Julie and Martin become more acquainted over coffee.

Julie is carefully reserved. However, she can’t help but notice that Martin is just the kind of man she needs in her life. But from the time Martin arrived, Julie has had the strangest feeling that someone is watching her. Her gut feeling is correct. In the shadows, someone is snapping pictures of Julie at every turn. The feeling that someone is following her is strongest when she is with Martin.

Meanwhile, Martin settles in with his 17-year-old daughter, Dana, a spoiled rich girl who wears an expensive designer bag to her new high school on the first day. Together, the daughter and father have been traveling all over the Mediterranean. For Dana, it is good to be back in America.

While Dana settles into her new school, miles away Martin is working his romantic magic on Julie. And it’s working. They begin a hot and heavy romance that leaves her thinking about him even when he is away. What Julie doesn’t know is the gnawing feeling she has is her intuition telling her that something is very wrong.

Martin failed to tell Julie his real reason for returning to America. While over seas, he lived in a beautiful villa overlooking the water with his fiancee. Making her believe he was madly in love, she trusted him with everything she had. But when his European lover wakes up one morning and discovers both her money and her man are gone, the woman makes it her mission to hunt Martin down and murder him, along with his new woman, Julie.
