On her half-sister Victoria's wedding day, 25-year-old nurse Lily Watson is forced into a deadly bargain. Victoria is set to marry Dominic Castellano, a ruthless mafia king rumored to have killed his last wife. But when Victoria flees, Dominic's hitmen threaten Lily's family. To protect them, Lily takes Victoria's place at the altar and becomes the bride of a man she fears may be a killer.
Lily Watson is a nurse, not a bride, and she certainly is not Victoria. The gap between who she is and who she has to pretend to be is where the show lives. Dominic Castellano may or may not have killed his last wife; the rumor was enough to make her half-sister run, and it is enough to make Lily wonder whether she will survive the marriage. The altar is only the start of the deception, and she has a secret to keep in a house run by a man she believes capable of murder.
Poisoned by His Love is for mafia-romance fans who like the stand-in-bride setup and a slow shift from dread to something warmer. Family loyalty is the heroine's whole motive, and it keeps her sympathetic even as she lies. The series is told in 56 short episodes of about 1 to 2 minutes, made for your phone.
