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

It was just past midday now, and Ilona hadn't seen Mason again. She had seen no one but her mother, who was hurrying down the path towards the pirate's camp. Ilona had to hasten to keep up and wasn't certain why she was bothering. She had no idea why her mother was acting so strangely.

"Why are we going to the camp?" she asked Anja. "What do we need there?"

"I had the men dig some pits in the sand. We're going to set pots to cook over the coals while we do other things."

Ilona frowned, "Why don't we just cook them like normal?"

"Because we have other things to do," Anja tossed back over her shoulder without slowing down.

Ilona gave up. She would just do as she was told. At least it would be something to distract her until her talk with Mason that night. If she were sitting alone in their cave, that would be all she could think about. Even now, she was having a hard time keeping it off her mind.
