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

Ilona saw the Duchess was watching her and tried to conceal her worry behind an emotionless mask as her brother always did. She found she wasn't as skilled at it as he was however.

Once they were finished going over the plan for the evening, Delaney followed Ilona upstairs to her bedroom. Ilona was sure the other woman could see her concern, so she didn't bother trying to turn her away. She closed the door behind them, and they went to the table, sitting down and taking a moment to watch out the windows as the rain continued to fall.

"What's wrong?" Delaney asked after a while, "Why are you upset with the plan? I thought you would be happy to never return to the royal court again."

"I am," Ilona sighed, "I just thought we would all go together to this and look out for one another. I don't know that I like Ian and Vincent going on their own. Something could happen."
