A stately hotel perched on the rocky shores of the Amalfi Coast sits empty as it awaits renovations for the next travel season. Its owner, a divorcée who’s just turned 60, lives most of her days alone. But when a younger man shows up and sparks fly, her life begins anew. Except … who is this man, really? Is he in it for love, or is he nothing but a grifter? The steamy Italian series Deceitful Love, from director Pappi Corsicato (The Temptation), stars Monica Guerritore and Giacomo Gianniotti.

What happens in Deceitful Love?

Months before her son winds up blocking all her credit cards in order to protect her from potential fraud, Gabriella (Guerritore) is celebrating her 60th birthday at the hotel she owns on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. That day, she notices a handsome man in his 30s diving into the water. She can’t keep her eyes off him. The two finally meet when his car breaks down near the hotel. His name is Elia (Gianniotti), and the two have an instant attraction, despite their age gap. Their love blooms, but this raises her children’s — and her ex-husband’s — suspicions about the mysterious Elia. Is he a con man taking advantage of a vulnerable divorcée? Or is this true love?
