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.
