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

Time seemed to slow for Mason as he looked up at the treacherous sight shooting towards him.  He could feel the rough hilt of his sword in his hands.  He could hear himself breathing and the men yelling.  He could smell the dirt and sweat from the battle.  He could taste the metallic tang of his blood in his mouth.

She was getting closer.  He had to do something.

As soon as the thought went through his mind, he did it.

Mason shoved off from his feet with all his might, launching himself to the side just as the dragon's face was so close he could make out the individual scales on her jaw.  He closed his eyes, still sure he wouldn't survive.  When he felt himself hit the ground, he snapped them back open.  Just as he did, the earth shook beneath him, and the sound of a loud thud reached his ears.
