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 left Mason in his cabin and went to find her mother.  Anja had spent her life on the sea and knew all the ways to help someone get over seasickness.  She was relieved when she found the woman in the galley with Jamie.

There was a barrel open and full of apples.  Ilona leaned against it and grabbed one, taking a bite out of it.  The crunching sound caught her mother's attention, and when she turned to look at her daughter, she put her hands on her wide hips.

"Your brother tells me your Prince is sick."

"Why does everyone insist on calling him mine?" Ilona asked in annoyance, "He's not mine at all.  He's a Prince.  If anything, I could be called  his  pirate."

"And I'm sure he does call you that," Jamie laughed before ducking as Ilona threw the half-eaten apple at him.  It hit the wall behind him and dropped into his hands.
