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

Their last day went by achingly slow and unbelievably fast all at once.  Mason spent a lot of time going over the plan's details with the men and trying not to worry Ilona.

Nick, Jamie, and Sam had gone to the shipwreck early that morning and gathered anything left that they might be able to use in their attack.  With the rain and the salt from the sea, there wasn't much left, but they did find a few more weapons.  Anja had also told them where she had stored away extra medical supplies, and they were able to return with a crate of those as well.

As the skies grew darker and the sun sank towards the horizon, a hush fell over the cave.  Even Pierce Vane and the men loyal to him were quiet.  As Mason looked around the cavern, his eyes moved over the faces of all the men he would soon be leading into battle.  The thought of it made him feel sick.
