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

<p>      Mason looked down into the bowl, more of a pit really, at the top of the mountain, where the male dragon's body rested. He waited and watched at first, not wanting to move and alert anything to his presence. His gaze drifted over the piles of dead fish and the remains of the skeleton, still smelling as bad as they had the day before. The moon was nearly full, but the sky was littered with clouds, making it more difficult to see clearly. More than once, the shifting shadows of the clouds caused Mason to freeze, thinking it was something moving among the fish.</p>

<p>      At last, he realized his initial judgement of the area had been correct. The pit was empty of anything left alive. It didn't look like the females had brought any new fish to the area, either. Mason wondered if they were closer to giving up than the others had thought. It would be nice if they could get through this without anymore problems arising.</p>
