Olympia Winfield, an old maid at twenty-five, saddled with raising her motherless hellion nephews, though the lovely blue stocking preferred spending every spare minute pursuing her true passion — the study of ancient legends and unearthing clues to long-lost treasure. Between trying to control a mob of unruly youngsters and fend off an overly attentive neighbor whose interest was far from scholarly, the absentminded beauty was having a most chaotic day. Cornered in her own library before she could manage to extricate herself from the cad’s clutches, she found herself unexpectedly rescued…by a glorious stranger who was the embodiment of her most exotic dreams…
Tall and dark, with chiseled features and long windswept black hair, Mr. Jared Chillhurst could have walked straight out of a legend of buried treasure and uncharted seas. As it was, he strode into Olympia’s life with all the boldness of a privateer…setting everything and everyone to rights, before turning his brilliant gaze on her.
He announced that he was the new tutor, come to school her three incorrigible charges. He claimed to be a gentleman who’d traveled the world and made his home on remote and mysterious islands…And then he seduced the imaginative, impractical Olympia, who’d long fantasized of foreign lands and ancient quests, with his daring traveler’s tales and a pirate’s plundering kisses.
Too late, Olympia would discover that only part of Jared’s story was true.
