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>      With everyone finally together in one place, Anja and Ilona set the younger children to rest on the blankets in front of the fire with their cups of warm tea, while the older siblings gathered around the tables. Anja sent Ilona, Mason, Nick, Jamie, and Sam Thatch to change out of their soaked clothing while she started a pot of fish soup on the stove with the catch that had been brought in that morning.</p>

<p>      Once in dry clothing with their hair mostly dried, Ilona and Mason rejoined the group, finding the other three men had already made their way back. They settled in on a bench between Nick and Jamie, Ian and Isaac sitting across from them.</p>
