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 and watched the boys head back to the camp until he felt they were close enough to be safe. Turning back to the cave, he took a deep breath and prepared himself. He pictured Ilona laying naked in their bed and a quiet groan slipped through his lips. That was going to be hard to turn down.

Because of his injured wrist, Mason had to push the pot of food inside awkwardly before climbing in after it himself. Once he was in, he looked over at the bed and found it empty. Ilona had moved and was standing beside the fire, nearly dressed. Mason's face fell as he watched her.

"You're not naked," he sighed.

"I'm not," Ilona smirked in amusement. "I heard enough of your conversation with my brothers to know it would be a waste of time."
