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 sat before the fire rubbing his hands together to warm them.  A breeze blew off the ocean over his bare chest and back, making him shiver.  He didn't mind the chill though.  His spirits were high after his talk with Ilona.

His stomach growled, and he sighed, dropping his head into his hands.  He was famished, and he knew Ilona was as well.  They needed to eat something soon.  They hadn't been eating well on the ship for days, and now they hadn't eaten at all since they'd woken up on the island.  He was thankful they had at least found fresh water here.

The fire began to burn low, and the sky grew lighter and lighter as the sunrise came closer.  Mason sighed and pushed himself up from the beach to begin work gathering more wood for the fire to keep it going.  It hadn't been all that easy to light in the first place, so he didn't want to fight to do it again.
