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 sat with Mason on the beach and watched their little fire burn, warming up their toes, boots, and swords discarded in a pile.  She had her hands resting on the sand beside her, and when his hand bumped hers, she dared to weave her fingers through his without looking.  Her heart fluttered happily when he didn't pull away but instead held her hand tight.

A slight breeze blew over her, ruffling her hair and making her shiver.

"It's going to be cold here at night," Mason commented after watching her, "We're going to need to make some sort of shelter so we can use the canvas from the sail as a blanket."

"That won't be a very comfortable blanket," Ilona smirked down at him.

"No," the Prince chuckled, "But it's our only option for now."
