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 stood on the edge of the cliff with the few remaining men.  They were dirty, injured, and exhausted, but they wore looks of relief on their faces.  They had done it.  Against all odds, they had managed to defeat their second dragon.

Stepping close enough he could get a clear view, Mason looked down into the ocean below and saw what was left of the beast.  She would not be coming back to try to kill them.  He looked up across the horizon and felt his worry return.  The sun would appear at any moment, and then the other dragons would come to investigate what had happened.

"We need to get out of here," he said to the men, "The other dragons could start arriving to investigate any second."

"Where are we going to go?" Jamie asked, "The path back down to the cavern is almost completely exposed.  The dragons will be able to see us as we try to run away."

"There will be too many to fight at once and too few of us," Nick added.
