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

After they were sure the dragon was nowhere to be seen, the pirates slowly came out from below deck and looked around the ship, assessing the damage.  Ilona was thankful when Sam Thatch began giving the men work to do so they could start getting the ship back in shape.  Maybe he was finally learning.

Ilona felt numb as she walked through the mess.  Her ship, the thing she loved so much, her safe place, had been invaded and smashed by a dragon.  Her parents had sailed the craft for her entire life, and it had never been badly damaged.  Now, after barely a year with her in charge, it had needed more repairs than ever before.

After taking a look at the hole in her deck, Ilona walked back down the now uneven staircase to the door to her cabin.  She took hold of the handle and went to pull it open, but it didn't move.  Frowning and inwardly cursing her luck, she braced herself and yanked, but it still didn't budge.
