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

Days went by, and Ilona settled into the routine of being Captain again.  It didn't take long for her men to settle in either.  She was relieved things seemed to be going better for her this voyage than her last.  There was a lot less arguing and fighting to keep a handle on her crew.

Mason didn't recover from his seasickness as quickly as they might have hoped.  Anja kept him steadily supplied with her ginger tea and plain bread.  That was about all he could manage.

Ilona kept herself distracted with her duties as Captain, but she often found herself sitting and staring at nothing as her mind floated to the handsome Prince, only a single deck beneath her.
