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 got to her feet and watched Mason struggle to his.  He closed his eyes and pressed the heels of his hands to them.

"I'm dizzy," he grumbled.

"That's because you got walloped in the head," Ilona sighed, "Now come and get on the horse."

The Prince looked up at her then with a frown, "That's your horse."

Ilona smirked, one hand on her hip, "Technically, they were both your horses.  You and Ian stole them from the royal stables."

Mason didn't look amused.  "I'm not riding your horse."

Ilona's teasing smile faltered, "No, Mason... You're riding your horse."

"And what will you do then?  Walk?"

She shrugged, "For a while, I suppose... until I can find a new ride."
