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

"We should go," Ilona said to the men now that they had somewhat settled their plan.

Prince Mason nodded and got to his feet. He walked around the table and held a hand out to Ian.

"Thank you," he said sincerely as he shook the pirate's hand. He then turned to Ilona and opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't thank me," she said quickly, folding her arms and tucking her hands behind her elbows, "We've made a deal. Neither one of us is doing this freely for the other."

The Prince gave her a slight smile, "Well... I suppose I can thank you for coming at all... And for hearing me out."

"I did that for my brother," Ilona said, making herself look away from his breathtaking gaze, "We'd better go."

Ian nodded and said goodbye before turning and following his sister out down the passageway. Ilona was glad it was dark on the steps because her cheeks were warm.
