THE CHOICE: My King or My Knight?
[COMPLETE] When Zara walked in on her boyfriend sleeping with another woman, she cursed God for the lack of good men in this miserable, modern world. Then she woke up in a romantic land of honorable Knights and the Royal Court. There, Zara is stunned to find herself one of eighteen women called The Select, from which the handsome, powerful King will choose his bride. She finds the magnetic King compelling. But her dashing Knight Defender has declared his love—and vows to save her from certain death: Tradition requires every woman in the Select who is not the King’s chosen bride to be executed to cover her family’s shame. Yet, the King is also making his intention to win Zara clear. None of this would matter if it was just a dream. But Zara is soon forced to accept that this is no fantasy. Which means each man—and his love—is real. And this world is a deadly nightmare. As the tension between the two men grows, Zara must make a choice. But how can a woman choose between a powerful King and a deadly Knight? Especially when either would kill to keep her? Are you #TeamKing or #TeamKnight?

Bind Myself to You – Part 2
~ STARK ~
Hildie's beautiful face was pleading and smiling and such a joy. I wanted to take her face and kiss her, but I knew this part needed to go first.
"Do you want to repeat after me, or wait until the end to give your own?" I asked her quietly, realizing we hadn't discussed it.
Her eyes welled up and a single tear trickled down her cheek, but she was beaming. "I want to give it back to you as soon as you've offered it. I'll repeat you, Gabe. Always. Every day."
God, I couldn't breathe. My throat was going to close. I was blinking and clearing my throat, pulling myself together as I held her hands. I was afraid I would break down like a child to weep, but I took a deep breath and gave a hasty prayer, then met her beautiful, swimming eyes again.
"Hildie… I am a soldier. And with the honor of a soldier, I bind myself to you with these words."
She beamed, nodding, and repeated the words.
