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

Night passed on the island, and dawn came. The pirates sleeping around the camp only stirred when the light finally made its way to them through the jungle canopy, but it was a while later before they actually got up and moving. All were stiff and sore from the constant battering they'd taken since they last left the big cave. It felt like ages ago now.

Jamie took a few of the others to the beach with him and they collected the remaining crabs that were still scurrying about. They had slept in too late to gather very many, but they were all happy just to have a break from oysters.

They collected fresh water from the pool and spent some time washing things. No one went anywhere alone. Anja had admitted to killing the men by the stream and Ilona to the ones with Vane, but that still left plenty of his men roaming the island. No one knew how they would react to the death of their leader.
