Brazen lies, profound betrayal and heartbreak — that’s what happens when you fall in love with a sociopath, narcissist, psychopath or other exploiter. They seem so perfect in the beginning, as they promise a shimmering happily-ever-after, but it is all a mirage, designed to trick you into giving them what they want.
Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, hosts these riveting True Lovefraud Stories. People who were unknowingly targeted by con artists of love describe how they were seduced, deceived and ultimately betrayed. Their so-called romantic partners lied, plotted and manipulated, with no heart, no conscience and no remorse. Survivors agreed to share their true stories so that you can learn from their mistakes and possibly recognize warning signs in your own life that they overlooked.
