Rescued by the Buccaneer (Pirates of the Jolie Rouge Trilogy, #1)
By Normandie Alleman
Blurb:
When Frederica
Beauchamp boards a ship for the Americas, she dreams of a life filled with
adventure, but she gets more than she bargained for when her passenger ship is
attacked by pirates. The heartless men kidnap her and force her to serve their
captain—a fate that might be worse than death, since though he does not have
his way with her, the captain delights in baring her, shaming her, and thrashing
her bare bottom as punishment for every imagined disobedience.
After the
pirates bring aboard an injured man found floating in the sea, Frederica tends
to his wounds and learns that he is Gaston Galette, a survivor of a shipwrecked
vessel. Gaston seeks her help to overthrow the vile captain, but when their
plan goes awry he is forced to use all of his wiles to save them. As the naïve
girl and the seasoned sailor navigate one perilous situation after another, he
informs Frederica that the only way they can survive is if he is in command,
and that if she thinks things can be otherwise, she will be taken over his knee
for a bare bottom spanking.
As he watches
the proud, willful Frederica bow to his authority, however, Gaston worries that
her growing hold on his heart will be his downfall. He knows he cannot take a
woman with him when he returns to his ship and crew, but when Frederica accepts
his lustful dominance completely, submitting to him with grace and beauty no
other woman could match, Gaston realizes that he may never be able to let her
go.

Excerpt
As
he removed his shirt, she couldn’t help but notice his burnished skin rippled
with muscles. His biceps bulged, and the planes of his stomach appeared to be
carved with a knife. Long matted hair formed thin locks that fell past his
shoulders, making him appear wild, yet with a hint of civility and charm. And
rather handsome for a drowned bilge rat.
The
man bowed dramatically at the waist. “Mademoiselle, I am Gaston Galette.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.”
She
nodded curtly. “You are French?”
“Oui,
oui. Do you speak French?” he asked.
She
shook her head no.
“A
pity. The French language is exquisite—not unlike yourself.” He lifted an
eyebrow flirtatiously.
She
crossed her arms over her chest. “I see. My name is Frederica Beauchamp. My
ancestors did speak French, but alas, I am only an Englishwoman. Is that the
injury of which they speak?” She pointed at the red gash.
“Aye.”
“Let
us find something to clean it with.” She nodded to Bradford.
Bradford
escorted them to a small room below deck and brought a number of supplies,
including turpentine, soapy water, rags, and bandages. He also gave Gaston a
cup of grog to drink before excusing himself.
Gaston
perched on a barrel against the wall. Frederica knelt beside him, dipping a rag
into the bucket of soapy water.
“The
sea water is a blessing and a curse. The brine cleanses the wound, but the
water can introduce infection as well.” She laid her hand on his knee, causing
him to jump.
She
giggled. “Calm yourself. I haven’t done anything yet.” Then she poured a cupful
of the turpentine into the cut. He winced as the antiseptic permeated the
broken skin.
“You
know what you’re doing?” he asked, his voice strained.
“My
father was a physician. I picked up a few things.”
“Now
what is a physician’s daughter doing sailing the ocean with this motley crew of
scallywags?” His dark eye twinkled.
“Long
story,” she said, wiping the wound with the rag.
He
leaned back and set his feet up on another barrel. “I’ve got nothing but time,
Princess.”
Ignoring
him, she asked, “What happened to your eye?”
“Wood
splinter. Canon fire can be a nasty business. Here,” he said reaching for the
rag. “I’d like to cleanse it.” He lifted the patch away from his eye, at the
same time shielding Frederica from seeing the site of the eye injury and dabbed
at it, squeezing the rag until soapy water dripped down and dribbled off his
well-trimmed beard.
“I’m
supposed to do that,” she said.
He
smiled and handed her back the rag. “You may finish up, my dear.”
“What
makes you think you can call me that?” She pushed back, hands settling on her
hips.
He
sighed as if he found her tiresome. “I just did, didn’t I?”
She
folded her arms and gave him a dirty look. “I’m not your dear,” she said
through gritted teeth. “You may call me Frederica or Miss Beauchamp.”
“I
see. And how did you come to join a pirate crew, Frederica?”
She
softened. “I’m not a member of the crew. I am their prisoner, taken on my way
to the colonies.”
“Taken?
So that’s how you wound up with this scurrilous crew.”
“I
was aboard the passenger ship, the Adelaide, when Captain Humphrey and his men
attacked us.” The corners of her mouth fell.
“What
happened?”
“They
stole everything of value, then killed everyone.” She shrugged at the senseless
loss of life and dropped her eyes to the floor.
“How
did you escape?”
“Captain
Humphrey took me as his prisoner.”
