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 loyal pirates had plenty to say to both Ilona and Mason about what had happened that afternoon with the traitors. They were angry with Ilona for saying the traitors could earn their trust back, but they were even more angry with Mason for his sudden announcement that they would go to hunt the dragons again. The thing they were most furious about, of course, was the fact that neither one of the couple had talked to them about either of these things first.

"You're right," Mason agreed. "I'm sorry I set up the dragon hunt before talking to all of you first. I just thought it would be the perfect way for them to show they truly wanted to work together."

"You weren't wrong about that," Nick replied, "But we don't think we want to waste anymore time and lives on the damned dragons."

Mason took a deep breath. "I understand that... but if we can't be rid of the dragons, we can't make the island safe."
