An absentminded academic and a scholarly swashbuckler discover the greatest
treasure of all is true love.
Olympia Wingfield
is an expert on ancient cultures, exotic customs and legends at least as old as the written word. She is one of the few people capable of telling the difference between a genuine
treasure map and a clever hoax. Although her attention for details is excellent, her short term memory leaves something to be desired. She also doesn’t have much experience with children. When three orphan relatives turn up on her doorstep, she doesn’t have the heart to turn them away. She tries to educate her new charges; but, teaching is not a skill to be learned from books. Olympia decides to hire a tutor.
Jared Chillhurst is descended from a long line of pirates. Cool headed and competent, he has a talent for organization and a tendency to take charge. So when he hunts down an old family
diary, he can’t help but set right the chaos he finds in the household of the young lady who he thinks has custody of an old family heirloom. Jared had intended to buy back the diary; but Olympia’s nephews interrupt before he can make an offer. When the lady sees him take charge of the little hellions, she mistakes him for the new tutor she’s been expecting.
Olympia hires Jared to teach her nephews, thinking it will give her more time to study the old diary she’s discovered. Jared would rather study the lovely lady who can’t seem to keep her mind on anything. The new tutor is about to give the expert on ancient societies a lesson in love.
