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

Mason kissed Ilona gently on her lips.  "We should get some rest," he murmured, "We can travel back to the cavern tonight."

"Alright," Ilona nodded, and he saw the relief on her face.

Laying down with her, Mason pulled the blankets up over them and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her until her back was pressed to his chest.  He kissed the back of her neck before whispering for her to get some sleep.

Overwhelmed and exhausted from their emotional day, it didn't take long for Ilona to fall asleep.  For Mason, it wasn't so easy.

He was angry with himself.  He couldn't believe he had never thought about the risk he was forcing on her every time he'd made love to her.  How, at his age, had he never stopped to consider the fact he could end up getting her pregnant?
