Lifetime presents Tempted by Love, a romantic tale executive produced by Terry McMillan and starring Garcelle Beauvais as Ava, a celebrated chef based in Europe. When Ava’s elderly aunt (played by Donna Biscoe) has a fall, she rushes back to South Carolina, leaving her prestigious career temporarily behind.

As the story unfolds, Ava and Luke’s relationship blossoms, and they discover they are the perfect recipe for love. However, Ava soon finds herself grappling with the reality of their age difference. She realizes that Luke has a wealth of life experiences ahead of him, and this prompts her to reevaluate her own career and relationships.
The cast also includes Lela Rochon and Loretta Devine. The script is by Tamara T. Gregory and the director is Taliah Breon.
