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

Mason helped Ilona down into the cabin as he had before and then dropped down after her.  She looked back over her shoulder at him and frowned.

"I'm just packing some things.  I don't need help."

Mason nodded, folding his arms and leaning back against the wall.  "That's alright.  I'll just wait to help you out when you're ready."

Ilona rolled her eyes before turning back to her things.  Rummaging around in her chest, she soon pulled out a sack and began stuffing her clothes into it.  She grabbed her hairbrush, soap, and towel.  Then, when Mason turned to look at something, she quickly snatched her little hand mirror from its place hanging on the wall and tucked it inside her sack as well.

For whatever reason, she didn't want Mason to know she included it in her important items to take.

"Here," she said, handing him the sack once it was full, "Put that up on deck."
