Ilona Black is the oldest daughter of the Pirate King. All her life, she's wanted to be a great pirate captain, just like her father. When she's finally given the chance, however, things go terribly wrong- Ilona's younger siblings have been captured and now it's up to her to get them back.

All hope seems lost until she happens to meet the wickedly handsome Prince Mason who is having his own bad luck. He has been promised to marry a princess who he is quite certain is evil. He has no way to escape the marriage but once he meets the beautiful pirate Captain he comes up with a plan that will help them both. He will marry the daughter of the cruel king who took Ilona's siblings.

They sail away and the plan seems perfect. Mason will escape the evil princess and Ilona will get her siblings back.

But what happens when they start to fall for each other and put their whole plan in jeopardy? And what if their ship never reaches its destination at all?

The Prince and The Pirate

    By the time the bell rang to announce dinner, Ilona hadn't managed to write more than a few things on her list of supplies.  She sat at the table in her room, staring out the window and thinking about what she'd told her brother.


    It had been true.  She was going to offer herself as a replacement for Isaac and Willow.  She was hoping that, along with all the gold and treasure she could manage to gather, would be enough to convince the King to take her trade.


    Having a pirate Captain under his command could be advantageous for him.  He could give Ilona a ship and a crew and set her about pirating for his country and his people.  She had relationships formed with traders in other lands that could be good for The Red Lands.  They could bring back treasures, unlike anything the people of The Red Lands had ever seen.


    Of course, he might not want to do anything like that.
