The Pretender - The Liar's Club - Book 1 - Cover
She had a secret she’d do anything to hide.

Agatha Cunnington, headstrong lady 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.” Married women have an easier time in Society but for her charade to work she needs a suitable “husband,” preferably someone tall, handsome and rakish–Someone like Simon Rain.

He had a secret he’d do anything to hide.

Simon Rain is the leader of the Liar’s Club, a renegade group of rogues and thieves in the service of the Crown. When members of the undercover cabal begin to die one by one, Simon must bring in James Cunnington, 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 James’s mistress. Before Simon knows what’s happened, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Agatha and is tempted beyond reason to break the first rule of the Liar’s Club:

Never fall in love.

Under the covers…

I love Pygmalion stories. My original intent was to write a sweet sexy novel, Educating Agatha, about a woman who must educate a ragged chimneysweep to pose as her husband. Then Simon began to take on a mysterious life of his own, becoming something altogether more sexy and interesting. A charismatic rule-breaker like that had to come from someplace, didn’t he? So the Liar’s Club was born.

As the story began to gain flesh and bone, the Liars became a forceful voice of their own. The secondary characters that populate The Pretender–Kurt, Pearson, Button, among others–have generated reader mail of their very own. Imagine—fan mail for the butler!
