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

The pirates stared at the dead beast in silence for a moment before, somewhere in the crowd, someone let out a loud whoop.  The others quickly echoed it, and soon nearly all the men were cheering and clapping.

Ilona looked at Mason, who was grinning bashfully now.  She helped him pull off the last of the bags he was carrying.  As soon as they hit the ground and he was free, the men rushed forward to greet and congratulate them.

The couple was swept up into a crowd of happy pirates.  Ilona noticed right away that all the pirates were thrilled that Mason had killed one of the dragons, but she wasn't sure an equal number were happy to find they were still alive.
