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

The clouds were growing over the island, but still appeared mostly light grey and puffy. Pierce Vane stepped to the mouth of the cave and peered out, his beetle-like eyes scanning the jungle before him.

The winds were picking up, causing the trees to bend and sway, filling the air with the strange brushing sound that came from their leaves and branches as they danced. It would make it nearly impossible to catch sight of intruders moving about if they were there. Their motion would blend with the surroundings. That only put the leader of the mutinous pirates more on edge.

Although the skies were still bright and it might have looked like an extra breezy day to anyone else, Pierce Vane had spent enough time on the ocean to be able to read the weather like a book. A storm was coming, and it would be a bad one.
