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, Ilona, and the others went back down to the waiting pirates and relayed what had been found. There were only a couple of men that knew dragons like Nick and Jamie did, but the rest had to have it explained to them like Ilona and Henry had. In the end, it may not have made total sense, but they knew enough to have hope.

"So, what will we do now?" Ilona asked Mason. "The body of the beast is still up there. How are we going to stop the females from continuing to return to it?"

"If the body is gone, they will give up," Mason explained. "They'll have nothing to return to at that point. They'll leave the island to look for a new male."

"But how is the body going to be gone?"

"Because," he smirked, "We're going to move it."

"Wait," Henry frowned, "you want us to go up there in that pit? How can we do that? The smell alone could kill you."
