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

"That was risky," Mason spoke in a low voice as they moved out of earshot of the pirates.

"Maybe," Ilona said, "But it worked."

"For you," Mason looked at her disapprovingly, "You won't be the one up the mountain trying to find a dragon with Jennings slowing you down... And you know the man will be panting and wheezing so loud it will wake up every beast on this damned island."

"Well," Ilona smirked, "At least if a dragon chases you, Jennings will be the first to be caught.  Surely he would fill up the creature, and it would give up its chase."

Mason folded his arms over his chest, not pleased with her teasing.  Ilona giggled before going up on her toes to kiss his cheek.
