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

Back at the quiet city house, Vincent Adair was waiting for their return, and when he saw the state they were in, he was astounded.

"What happened?" he demanded, looking between the three of them.

Delaney stepped forward, taking his hand and leading him to the sitting room. Ilona excused herself to go to her room, and no one questioned it.

Ian watched her go before following the Duke and Duchess. He joined Delaney in explaining to her husband what had happened. They hadn't gotten very far into the story when Vincent's displeasure began to build until it erupted.

"That's it," he snapped the moment they had finished, "We're leaving here. My cousin has lost control of his court, and I don't want to be in the city as things worsen. First, there are heirs to the throne being murdered, and now our guest gets attacked by his mad sister-in-law, who he's also forcing his younger brother to marry. It's too much."
