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

"W-What are you talking about?" Mason stammered as more men rushed in behind them. Ilona was quick to join them, carrying cups of the steaming tea.

"Here," she said, "drink this so you don't freeze."

"There's no time!" Jamie gasped. "There's a ship! We can see it off the beach!"

"What?" Ilona almost dropped the cups she was holding.

"We tried to light the signals," Nick panted, "but we can't. The wood is too wet. Everything on this whole damned island is soaked!"

"What do we do?" one of the other men asked.

"We have to get their attention!"

"L-Let me think," Mason stepped back as his head spun. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't believe this was happening. If they lost their chance to stop the ship because they couldn't light their fire, he would never forgive himself.
