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

<p>      Over the next few days, Mason worked with the pirates to prepare them for the next attack on the dragon.  He talked to them about things he had seen done wrong in their first fight and how to correct them.  Mostly, he just worked on building their confidence, finding that was the thing they needed more than anything else.</p>

<p>      Even though she still wouldn't be allowed to fight with them, Ilona tried to make herself as useful as possible.  She set to work with the pirates that needed the most help with their swordsmanship.  They weren't always eager for her lessons but seemed much more willing when Mason himself came to join them as another student.</p>
