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

Nick joined them in their work, all of them throwing as far and as hard as they could. If anyone missed, Jamie, the lightest, would scurry up the side and retrieve the bone, chucking it the rest of the way. Mason took out his knife and cut the bundles free from the other men's backs, throwing them over as well, just to be safe. With all of them working, the remaining bones were rapidly disappearing.

Mason checked the sky in the smoke's direction after every throw. The plume was growing thinner and lighter, signaling that the fire must have been burning out. He knew that meant their time was running out as well. As soon as the dragons lost interest in the distraction, they would be back. And if the pirates weren't hidden away again by then, their lives would be taken.

"Mace!" Ilona gasped, catching his attention. But Mason didn't look towards her. He knew her gaze would be on the same thing his had been on.

It Will Work
