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 tracked through the jungle with the men on their way to the pirate's camp.  She and Mason stayed close together, both uneasy. The moon was just bright enough for them to see their way without walking off a cliff, but it still left most of the island around them drenched in shadows.

Shadows that could be hiding anything.

Dragons... or mutinous pirates.

Ilona glanced over at the handsome man beside her, and even though she was on edge, she couldn't stop herself from feeling a little thrill at the sight of him. He was all hers. And now, she had learned he wanted to be all hers forever. The idea of it made her heart sing.

He looked her way and caught her staring at him. A smile lit up his face. Ilona blushed but smiled back before looking ahead again.  Mason watched her a moment longer, admiring the way the breeze made her chocolate curls dance against her cheek.
