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 and Jamie walked on through the jungle, not sure what else to do.  They had both lost their appetite and interest in looking for food, but neither wanted to return to the cave and face the others.

Ilona glanced at her younger brother and felt a stab of guilt when she saw his face.  She shouldn't have said what she said about Mason.  It didn't matter that it was true.  Her brother didn't deserve to have that weight on his shoulders.  The feeling that he would be responsible for his best friend's life.

But she had been so upset and desperate for someone to understand.  Mason obviously wouldn't, and she wasn't sure about Nick.  Sometimes he could be sweet, but other times he was cold and logical like their brother Lucas.

The thought of Lucas popped into her mind, and she realized she hadn't thought of him in a very long time.  She glanced at Jamie and wondered if she should talk to him about this.
