Lady Clarissa Collins managed to trick famous painter,
Bernard St. Michelle, into giving her painting lessons
after being rejected repeatedly by other painters in Paris.
Clarissa pulled off her ruse by dressing up as a man, a
talent which would later come in handy. But when Bernard
recognized Clarissa's talent with the paint brush, he
agreed to secretly give her lessons in his studio.
Clarissa devoted herself to her painting in order to forget
the heartache caused by James Marlowe many years ago.
Clarissa had loved James with all her heart, but when
Clarissa's father was found having an affair, James sided
with Clarissa's father. Clarissa was never able to forgive
James the betrayal.
James was, in fact, a secret agent for an organization
called the Young Corinthians. The Corinthians were set on
infiltrating a French organization named Les Moines which
had ties to Napoleon. In order to become part of the enemy
and save England from becoming part of Napoleon's empire,
James would need to become a traitor.
James manages to join Les Moines and is even trusted with a
very important assignment. A wealthy Canadian banker
residing in London has commissioned a portrait of his
daughter by Europe's greatest painter. The price the banker
is paying for the painting is rumored to be worth a king's
ransom. Les Moines is determined to get their hands on the
money by threatening the artist into submission. Only when
James arrives at the artist's studio, he comes face to face
with the woman who broke his heart years ago.
After the sought after artist is injured during the ambush
at his studio, James and his associates must find a way to
proceed with the plans to take the banker's money. When
Clarissa volunteers to impersonate the artist, James is
outraged, especially when her mother is going to be taken
hostage to ensure she keeps up her side of the bargain.
But Clarissa is determined to sacrifice herself to save her
beloved friend. In order to help Les Moines, Clarissa must
disguise herself as Europe's most famous portrait painter
and work alongside the man she was never able to forget.
