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

When Mason finally walked out of the jungle and onto the long stretch of rocky beach, he paused to take in the sight of the ocean and breathe the salty air.  He was safe.  He knew where he was now.  Everything was going to be alright.

Just as the man was about to turn to head towards the ledge, something caught his eye.

Frowning and curious, Mason made his way slowly out along the dark, slippery rocks towards the ocean.  The tide was low, creating deep pools of water between the stones.  There was something strange in these pools though.  It was something he recognized.

When Mason reached a place where the waves were washing up over his thighs, he stopped and looked down into the pool in front of him.  His suspicion was confirmed right away.  This pool was loaded with something wonderful.

He couldn't feed Ilona crab every day.  They would need something else.  Oysters were just the thing.
