Agatha Cunnington, a headstrong beauty from the country,
has come to London in search of her missing brother James.
The only clue she has is a cryptic letter signed The
Griffin. Agatha decides to disguise herself as a
respectable married woman so that she can go about the city
unnoticed. But for her charade to work she needs a
suitable "husband," preferably someone tall, elegant, and
rakish-someone like Simon Montague Rain.
He had a secret he'd do anything to hide.
Simon Montague Rain, also known as The Magician, is a
member of The Liar's Club, a renegade group of rogues and
thieves in the service of the Crown. When someone begins
murdering members of the undercover cabal one by one, Simon
is given the mission to bring in The Griffin, one of his
comrades who is suspected of betraying his brothers. Simon
goes undercover and infiltrates the home of "Mrs." Agatha
Applequist who he believes is the Griffin's mistress.
Before Simon knows what's happened, he finds himself
irresistibly drawn to Agatha's soft, feminine charms-and he
is tempted beyond reason to break the first rule of The
Liar's Club: never fall in love.
