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

Ilona stared unblinking at the figure behind Peirce Vane. It was so dark now that she could barely make him out in the shadows, but she would know this man anywhere. Her heart knew him. Everything melted away around them until it was as if it were the two of them alone in the clearing.

The word fell from Ilona's lips, barely a whisper. Lightning flashed and for a moment, his handsome face was clear, smiling fondly at her. He had dark shadows of exhaustion under his eyes and he desperately needed a shave, but to Ilona, he had never looked so perfect. Her head was spinning as her heart fluttered wildly, skipping beats as much as making them. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had thought she would never see his handsome face again.

The pair were so distracted by each other that neither paid any attention to the man that stood between them or the apprehension growing on his face.
