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 had to blink as the raindrops pelted her face and eyes. She reached up with one leather-gloved hand and pulled the hood of Ian's cloak a bit lower. Much lower though, and she wouldn't be able to see what was in front of her. It was already a struggle since it was night, and the storm clouds had blocked out all light from the moon.

The Prince was leading the way. He would know his way around the city better than she would. It was his home, after all.

For now, torches and lanterns cast some light. Ilona didn't know what they would do once they were out of the city on the road to the ocean.

The sound of their horses' hooves on the cobblestones echoed in the air, sounding startlingly loud in contrast to the near-silent city streets. The only other sounds anyone would be able to hear were the rumbling thunder and crashing rain.
