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?

"Holy fuck…" Stark gasped. "Zara…?"
I stood, mortified, in the living room of this little cottage, wondering where the hell I had landed this time.
Stark, of all people, was in a passionate embrace with a woman I'd never seen, the two of them clearly in the process of stripping each other and forgetting the world. I gaped, apologizing again and again as the two drew apart and Stark stared at me like I was a ghost.
I'd never seen Stark so ruffled. His eyes were wide, his face agape, and he shifted to put himself behind one of the chairs, presumably to hide his, er, interest in his friend.
The woman, however, stared darkly between us—not mortified, but suspicious.
"This is Lady Zara?" she asked him quietly.
Stark nodded slowly, his eyes never leaving me, like he thought if he looked away I'd disappear.
