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 walked with Mason's repaired shirt clutched in her hands.  She thought about what her mother had said.  She knew Anja was right, and she needed to be careful with Mason.  Unfortunately, that was becoming harder and harder for her to make herself do.

Before, when they were in The King's City and when they started on their journey together, it had been easy to remind herself that this Prince was a drunk and a chaser of women.  Things had continued to happen that would remind her that he was selfish and untrustworthy.  He was handsome, but that was his only desirable trait.

Since they had set sail and even since they had been at her father's home, Mason had shown himself to be quite different than she had thought.
