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

"M-Mason," Ilona stammered, pressing herself to the wall behind her, eyes wide and heart suddenly pounding in her chest.

His startlingly blue eyes were sparkling with mischief and his lips curled with a grin.  The slight breeze tousled his golden curls, and Ilona knew then without a doubt that this man was the most handsome creature she could imagine.

With one cautious hand, she reached out to touch his bare, muscled chest.  As soon as her skin met his, it was as if a little flame shot through them.  A shiver passed over Ilona, and she bit her lip.  She watched as Mason's gaze dropped down to them, and his own lips parted.

And then, very suddenly, a hand flew forward, grabbing the Prince's shoulder and jerking him backward.

"Get off of her, you idiot," Nick snapped in the pirate language, shoving Mason harder than necessary and sending him falling backward where he landed hard on the deck.
