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 watched the beautiful woman before him as her hands flew to cover her mouth and her eyes widened with fear.

The thought of rescue hadn't crossed his mind until that moment.  Since they landed on the island in the night, he had been focused solely on keeping them alive.  Thinking of it now, his heart sank.

She was right.  There was almost no chance they would ever be rescued.

Not only did no one seem to know the island existed, but the pirates would believe he and the Captain had gone down with the ship.  They had all witnessed Mason and Ilona sail away on the sinking vessel during the storm.  There was no reason for anyone to search for the pair.
