Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, stumbling across an old map on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever craved in the hunt for pirate treasure. Unfortunately, Beth can't escape the attentions of her family's guest, Lord Sheridan. Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests caught his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his favorite pirates of history, he can't help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers. As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But the true surprise is the treasure they discover in each other.
This book picks up immediately where The Nature of a Lady leaves off, so it would probably be helpful to read book one first (which, incidentally, is the start of the treasure hunt continued in this book).
Sheridan definitely makes the book. He's extremely amusing, even if most of his thoughts never leave his head. Except for when they accidentally do, of course (with highly amusing results). He and Beth make an excellent pair, with their mutual love of adventure. I was glad that this book shows Telford in a better light than he came off in in the previous book--I'm looking forward to the next book featuring him and Lady Emily.
