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

<p>      Ilona left the Prince to go to sleep and walked out towards the middle of the barn.  She would need to climb up into the loft above so she could find a spot where she could keep an eye on the cabin.  First though, she knew he was right, and she needed to take off at least some of her wet clothes.  She wondered if any of the clothes she'd brought with her from the Adairs' had managed to stay somewhat dry in the saddlebags.</p>

<p>      Glancing towards the stall Prince Mason was in, she made sure she couldn't see him.  The walls to the stalls were only about as high as her chest, so she was worried he might peek over to try to watch her.  After waiting a bit and still not seeing any movement, she trusted that he'd fallen asleep or at least wouldn't bother her.</p>
