From a cozy cottage in rustic Dorset to a magnificent mansion steeped in secrets comes a dazzling tale of lost pirate gold and legendary love... Once Olympia Wingfield had been free to devote all her time to her true passion: the study of ancient legends and long-lost treasure. But now, with three hellion nephews to raise, the absentminded beauty has very little time for research. Which makes it seem all the more serendipitous when a handsome stranger strides into Olympia's library unannounced and proceeds to set her world to rights. Tall and dark, with long, windswept black hair, Jared Ryder, Viscount Chillhurst, is the embodiment of Olympia's most exotic dreams ... a daring pirate, masquerading in teacher's garb, whose plundering kisses and traveler's tales quickly win her heart. Yet all too soon innocent Olympia will discover that the enigmatic and wickedly sensual Chillhurst is no lowly tutor, but a future earl with a wealth of secrets-—the kind that will lead them both on a perilous quest for hidden fortune and a love worth more than gold.

0 0She doesn’t shoot him, but she does lock him in the attic for his own good, so he KNOWS she loves him.
Note - this was published in 1994, there’s a lot of fun prose that had me giggling.
This heroine, Olympia, is both too dumb to live but really book smart and practical in other ways. The hero, JARED, is a viscount pretending to be a tutor so he can bask in the presence of his lady love. Fun side characters, baddies, a dog named Minotaur, unexpected reactions, I was highly entertained by all of it. Plus he’s a practical pirate, and she’s the after buried treasure.
