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.

Do you listen to
music when you're writing?
No.
Do you ever read your
stories out loud?
Yes, to my husband. It helps me hear how the cadence and
rhythm sounds, and it helps me find mistakes. Also my husband gives me good
feedback. But I get terribly embarrassed to read the sex parts. It’s just my
upbringing. I can do it, and I can write it, but saying out loud makes me
squirm.
Do you write about
what turns you on?
Absolutely! And I usually throw in some extra spanking.
If we were to come to
your house for a meal, what would you give us to eat?
Homemade lasagna, salad, garlic bread, and a nice cake for
dessert.
Are you a romantic?
I must be to write erotic romance, but my husband is much
more romantic than I am. He always gives me tips to make my books more
romantic. It amazes me.
EXCERPT:
On this particular day, her daydreaming was cut
short when, in the distance, a white square appeared, dipping in and out of
view. On wobbly legs, she ran to find an officer. It was rare to see other
vessels in the open sea, and when it occurred, the crew became nervous because
they feared the other ship would be carrying pirates. And since they were
sailing for the southern colonies, their route took them awfully close to the
Caribbean, which was known to have pirate-infested waters.
The first mate was busy having a conversation with
a midshipman, and Frederica did her best to wait patiently for it to end. But
the longer the first mate ignored her, the closer the approaching ship came.
Finally, she tugged at his sleeve.
He turned, making his annoyance clear with a roll
of his eyes. “Yes, Miss Beauchamp. What is it now?”
Frederica knew the first mate lacked an
appreciation for passengers, particularly those with a curious nature like her
own. Tilting her chin haughtily, she proclaimed, “Pardon me, sir, but there is
a ship approaching,” and she pointed to the dot on the horizon.
He squinted his eyes in the direction she
indicated, then frowned. “Miss Beauchamp, if this is some sort of joke…”
“Whatever do you mean—a joke? Do you not see the
white of the sails yon?”
“I do not.” Patronizingly, he asked the midshipman,
“How about you, Davy, do you see it?”
Davy raised a hand over his eyes. “Nah, but then I
can’t see a far ways.”
The first mate waved her off. “Run along, girl.
Find something to occupy yourself with, and leave the men to their work.”
Inside, Frederica steamed at his dismissal of her,
but she took a deep breath and tried again. “Sir, I am not playing. I see a
ship on the horizon. Please alert the lookout!”
“I told you to quiet down,” the first mate snarled.
“Hmph! Fine, then I’ll alert the captain.”
“You will do no such thing! Now stop this ruckus,
or I will have you detained.”
“Detain me? I am merely trying to save you from a
possible ambush!” Her voice sounded high and shrill, even to her.
Just then, Cassandra tottered up on deck, her
blonde hair whipping in the wind. “Frederica, I can hear you all the way down
below. What is happening?”
“A ship is approaching and this fool will not order
a lookout!”
Cassandra looked out to sea. “I don’t see
anything…”
“But I do! Right there.” Frederica pointed again.
The first mate grabbed Frederica’s arm. “Enough!”
Adrenaline coursed through Frederica’s veins, and
she spun around and slapped the officer across the cheek.
“That’s it, missy. I’ve had enough impertinence out
of you.” The first mate snatched Frederica’s arms behind her and turned to
Davy. “Clap her in irons.”
“Sir?” Davy asked, taken aback.
“You heard me!”
Davy ran to fetch restraints, and the first mate
held Frederica tight.
“Let me go, you fool! There’s a ship and it’s
gaining,” Frederica insisted.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I realized that I should say that while I don't listen to music while I'm writing, I do listen to music sometimes to psyche me up for writing, and music often inspires my work.
ReplyDeleteDo you listen to music when you're reading?
