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>      Ilona would never remember if she screamed while they fell. She would never remember if Mason did, either. It was as if she left her body somehow and this disastrous thing was happening to someone else. Except she knew she couldn't have left her body because she could still feel her heart in her throat and her extremities tingling. Plus, her stomach was causing her much too much pain for her to have been parted from it.</p>

<p>      The whole thing passed so fast she could barely register it was happening. One moment she was standing on the cliff next to Mason, and the next, he had her wrapped in her arms and they were falling as the dragon's mouth snapped shut right behind them.</p>
