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

When Ilona awoke sometime later, the fire had grown low.  She snuggled in closer to Mason,

enjoying the warmth of his body against hers.

He slept with one arm hooked beneath his head and the other around her.  She smiled, enjoying not only the warmth but the safety she felt in his arms as well.  If only they could stay like this forever.

Ilona looked up at their dazzling jeweled ceiling and thought about how good it was to be home again, just the two of them.  After so much time spent alone together in the peace and quiet, she had forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by the boisterous noise of all her men.  It seemed almost deafening compared to the silence of their little cave.
