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

Nick wasn't far away, so it didn't take Mason long to get to him.  He paused when he did, glancing back down onto the land below.

"Nick," he said, nudging the man, "Do you see anything down there?"

The younger man turned, looking in the direction his friend was.

Nick took a step closer to the edge and squinted through the darkness.  "What am I looking for exactly?"

"I don't know," Mason sighed, feeling foolish now, "Just… Just anything that shouldn't be there I guess."

Nick scanned the space for a moment longer before shrugging.  "I don't know Mace.  The only thing I see that shouldn't be here is Jennings,"

His last words were meant as a joke to make his friend relax, but Mason's expression remained grave.
