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 slept deeply, catching up on all the sleep she'd been missing since leaving the home of the Adairs.  Lucia dozed there for a while but eventually got up and began packing her sister's things she would need for her trip.  When she had finished, she left the case and went to find Sam Thatch to spend her time with him before he left.

By the time Ilona woke up, it was late in the day, and the sun was already heading down towards the horizon. She smiled when she saw her sister had packed her things.  She got up and dressed before going to the door and calling for whichever of her brothers was closest.  Thankfully it was Silas.

"Would you take this to my ship?" she asked him when he came to her door, "I want to finish things so we can set sail."

"Of course," Silas nodded but then hesitated, not moving to pick up the case.
