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

Hearing Nick's words, Mason leaned back again, turning to stare hard at the ceiling.

"Are you alright?" Ilona asked nervously.

"I'm alright... For a moment, I just forgot about... about the losses..."

Ilona felt her heart sink, and she reached out to gently take his face in her hands, turning it until his sad blue eyes met hers.

"You told me from the beginning that there would be losses.  You couldn't help that.  The important thing is that you saved so many more than you lost."

Mason breathed in slowly but finally nodded.

"Alright, we're ready to fix his shoulder," Anja said then, coming back with Jamie.

Ilona stood back and watched as her mother and brother helped Mason sit up.  He winced and inhaled sharply with each movement, his body in pain.  She could see his shoulder was very swollen now, and he mumbled to Anja that his arm was hurting very badly.
