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

Mason looked up at Jamie, where he'd now climbed at least half a dozen feet above the Prince's head.  As the ship rocked on the waves, the boy swayed.  Mason sighed and looked again down at the churning ocean against the side of the ship.

"Stop that," Jamie laughed at him, "If you look down at the water, you will be too scared to come up."

Mason pursed his lips as he looked up at the beaming face.  "I think I might already be too scared."

"Come on, Mace!  It's nothing!"

"I don't agree," the other man scoffed.

Jamie stared at him hard.  He slid his legs into the ladder rungs and hooked his ankles into the ones below him.  He let go with his hands until he was hanging just by the strength in his legs.  He folded his arm across his chest.
