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 dark by the time Ian and Ilona made it back to the large house. The smell of whatever Anja was cooking hit them as soon as they opened the door, along with the warmth and the sound of so many voices talking excitedly at once.

Thankfully, everyone was too busy to notice when the siblings entered, the rest of the pirates having come back for dinner. The only one who got up was Mason, going quickly to his wife's side and taking Ian's cloak from her. Ian met Ilona's gaze for a moment before his face shifted back into the mask, hiding his emotions, and he left her to find their mother.

"Are you alright, Love?" Mason murmured, a hand moving to rest on her belly as his worried blue gaze swept over her.

"I'm alright," Ilona sighed, "but I have so much I need to tell you."

"Later," he said, kissing her forehead, "for now, I need you to help me get this disaster under control."
