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 felt the warmth of Mason's large body over hers. His muscular back was pressed to her chest, pinning her against the tree but shielding her from the threat of Pierce Vane's blade. He was on his knees and she was crouched awkwardly behind him, working to keep herself from falling.

"So," Vane questioned him, "What will it be, your majesty? Save yourself? Or die right along with her?"

Mason was quiet for a moment before he slowly shook his head. "I feel sorry for you, Vane... It's obvious now that you've never loved or been loved by anyone... Otherwise you would know how pointless your question is."

Ilona felt her heart swell in her chest. She had already known Mason wouldn't leave her, just as she never would have left him, but his words still filled her with even more love for him.
