Book Description from Goodreads:
Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. As an adolescent, she dreamed of love in London's ballrooms. 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.


My Review:
To Treasure an Heiress is a Christian romance set in 1906 in England. Beth and Lord Sheridan shared an interest in finding hidden history. Beth was searching for pirate treasure based on local and family lore. Sheridan wanted to be a part of the search due to a distant relation connected with the treasure. Initially, Beth resented Sheridan even though they made a great team. Sheridan's the only one to fully back Beth's search, and she discovered that she also enjoyed his sense of humor. Sheridan respected her and enjoyed her sense of adventure, intelligence, many talents, and courage. All of the characters were complex, realistic people, and I cared about what happened them.

Neither Beth nor Sheridan had a strong faith in God but they realized through various events that they needed to make it more central to their lives. Another viewpoint character came to realize that God really would forgive her past sins. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable historical romance with a mystery.
