The Pretender
The Pretender is the debut in the Liar’s Club series. Agatha Cunnington is a beauty and has come to London to look for missing Brother James. She has a secret, and she’s ready to do anything to keep it hidden. The only clue she has is a cryptic letter that Griffin signed.

Agatha decides to camouflage herself as a respectable married lady to go around the city without anyone noticing her. However, she’ll need an elegant and tall husband for her plan to work, and Simon Montague will be a perfect choice.

Simon has his secret that he is ready to do anything it takes to keep it covered. He’s also known as the magician and is a member of the Liar’s Club, a group of rogues and thieves. When members start getting killed one by one, Simon is assigned to bring in ‘The Griffin’, one of his comrades suspected to be the betrayer. The killer appears to know much about the Liars.

Simon goes undercover and finds a way to the home of Griffin and believes that she is Griffin’s mistress since the last time they talked, James bragged about his mistress. Before he gets information on what’s happening, Simon starts getting attracted to Agatha’s feminine charms and is tempted to break the rules of the Club where one should never fall in love.

Agatha feels that Simon could save her from her marital status lie. She had gotten to London as Mrs. Applequist Motimer, who didn’t exist. She and James invented Morty when they were young to take the blame for any escapades that got them into trouble.

Lady Lavinia Winchell doubts Motimer’s existence, and several forces Agatha to show him off. With people knocking on her door demanding to see the adventurous Mortimer, Agatha uses the first man he gets.

When the two announce that they are a thing, they get many invitations to social events. Agatha has no intention of turning down the invitations since she believes it might be a way of knowing her brother’s whereabouts.

Simon is Cockney accented and uneducated, but if Agatha can teach him some rules of the society and the phrases to use and how to pronounce them, they can be great together. She doesn’t know that her partner is a master spy working undercover to find a traitor of the club and his organization.

After an abrupt disappearance, James is the lead suspect in Simon’s list of traitors. On the other hand, Agatha is paying her bills from the account of James Cunnington, and Simon suspects she is his accomplice and mistress.

When a large amount of money reflects in James’ account, and a beautiful lady who he thinks is his mistress is living in his house, Simon has to dig more. He needs to search the house and find out what the lady knows.

To get closer to her, Simon accepts the plan of him to pose as her husband but later discovers that she is becoming a distraction from his mission. Simon and Agatha had great chemistry, and even when they had planned to stay away from each other, the tension between them became intense. Can each of them fulfill their mission and find James?
