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

Eventually, the morning came when Anja checked over Ilona and Mason and deemed them both healed. She cleared them to do work and things she had previously requested they avoid for the sake of their health. She recommended they didn't overdo it, but they could definitely start working to get back to where they had been before.

Mason beamed as he pulled back on his shirt. "Thank you, Anja. I've been waiting for this."

Anja chuckled at the man. "I think we've all been ready for you to be able to get back to work so you can stop giving us all orders and critiques from the side."

Mason grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yes, I'm afraid you can blame that on my upbringing. Lots of barking orders from the side while not actually doing anything."

"Well, at least you've learned you can just do things yourself," Anja smiled fondly at him. "I imagine that's more than most who live that way."
