Book Description:
From Seduction to Surrender and Reckless to Ravished, New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick has spun one thrilling love story after another. Now, in her long-awaited hardcover debut, she introduces her most endearing heroine and compelling hero, in a dazzling, daring tale of lost pirate gold and legendary love... Deception.
Olympia Wingfield, alone and vaguely raising three lively young nephews, is glad to hire on as tutor to one Jared Ryder--who's not about to reveal that he's a viscount. Jared impresses the intellectual "spinster" of twenty-five: "From his long wind-whipped black hair and velvet eyepatch to the dagger he wore...he was an awe-inspiring sight." Jared's real mission is to purchase a secret diary purported to point to a West Indian treasure--a diary that the studious Olympia is deciphering, unaware of its import. But, meanwhile, as part of the household, he disciplines the soon-to-be- devoted boys (and their dogs); runs villains to ground; carries on his own shipping business on the sly; and soon, of course, becomes smitten with Olympia.

This one like all her others was worth the read.
Colleen G. (Very good. Hero is out to find a treasure map, only the heroine has it.
I love anything by Amanda Quick!
Anita P. from WARROAD, MN wrote on 3/10/2007...An interesting romance that blends the study of ancient legends with a love story. Olympia Wingfield devotes herself to her one true passion: the study of ancient legends and long lost treasure. However, she is now in charge of 3 bratty nephews and has little time for her passion. The a handsome stranger walks into her library and sets her world right again. Soon she learns that he is not a lowly tutor but a rich earl with a wealth of money and secrets.
Wendy A. from STANDISH, ME wrote on 3/2/2007...A fun, easy Regency-era read.
Typical Quick. A heroine whose intellect has made her unaware of her feminine side until it is awakened by, in this case,Viscount Chillhurst masquerading as the tutor hired by her uncle to teach the nephews she has taken under her wings. Add a lost treasure and a few villains... a good light read...

Similar in plot to her other titles of this period, such as Scandal. This one, though, takes place more through the POV of the hero, as opposed to the heroine.
Hero might remind you of Johnny Depp's Cpt. Jack Sparrow.
