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

"N-Nick," Mason managed, "Nick!"

Thunder rumbled above them as the fat drops of cold rain continued to pour down over the scene.  Mason's golden waves were pasted to his face and neck, and the fabric of his clothing clung to him like a second skin.

A flash of lightning split the sky above, and the loud crack that accompanied it was the thing that finally snapped them all out of their stupor.
