"Suzette's Passion" by BitBard (bitbard@newsguy.com) http://www.qz.to/erotica/assm/Year98/12673.txt --- http://search.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=368291231 Lady Suzette is engaged to be married to an old, ugly Italian man. As she travels from France by ship to meet her fate, she is clad in a chastity belt. But the ship gets attacked by English pirates; the pirates capture Suzette and hold her for ransom; Spanish pirates attack the English pirates; the English fight off the Spanish, but the pirate captain, with whom Suzette is falling in love, is seriously wounded; but he turns out to be a former street urchin with lock-picking skills, and so a happy outcome is at last possible after she nurses him back to health. The author spins an excellent tale - full of swashbuckling heroics, romance, and the sort of sex we women all dream about but never see in the pirate movies. This is another excellent story!
