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

"So what now?" Nick asked Mason as they sipped the last of the broth Anja had saved for them.

Mason felt his stomach growl, still empty and longing for more.  He wished he could go eat some of the food he had stored in his cave.

In their cave... His and hers.

Thinking of his pirate sent a stab of pain into his gut, and he had to push her quickly from his mind.  He didn't have time to be hurt or upset.  He needed to finish going over the finer details of his plan.  He could worry about his relationship later when he had made a safe home for her.

"We need to take names and figure out how many of the men are with us," he answered Nick.

"I can do that," the man offered," We're actually lucky my sister is gone.  That left Anja alone to try to turn the men away from your plan, and she hasn't had much success."
