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 stood lost in her thoughts when she was suddenly grabbed from behind and spun around.  She gasped as she was pushed backward until her back hit the wall beside the door to her cabin.

She had only a moment to see the face of her attacker before his lips were on hers.

He pinned Ilona to the wall and kissed her hungrily, one hand cupping her cheek while his other held her hip.  Ilona wrapped her arms around his neck, welcoming his kisses and the feeling of his body against hers.

"Your lips," the Prince whispered against her cheek, "How I've longed to taste them... And now I finally know just how sweet they are."

Ilona giggled and leaned her head back as he kissed a trail over her chin and down her neck.  It sent a thrill through her.

"I didn't realize I wanted to kiss you until I did," she admitted, "But now I see I've actually wanted to do it for a long time."
