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 ran her hands over her face before looking up at Nick and Jamie, who now sat in the chairs across from her desk, sweaty and exhausted.  Once she had regained her composure after talking to Pierce, she had immediately called for them.

She told them all Pierce had said and showed them the note that had come from their father.  Both boys had paled when they read it.  They knew their father's wrath could be brutal.  Now, they were all left feeling anxious about their father and angry about the quarter master's lies.

"I think you should throw him in the brig until we reach The Red Lands," Nick said, his clenched fists sitting on the arms of the chair.

"Then we can leave him there," Jamie spat, being the one with the worse temper.

"I can't lock him up," Ilona shook her head, "Most of the crew is more loyal to him than me... and if I did, I would have no one to replace him."
