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?

Clear the Air
A short time later, Emory and I were walking slowly along the grassy land, away from the picnic. Ahead of us the forest loomed, two or three trails leading into the trees.
Behind us, two looming men with reluctant faces strode in our wake, leaving enough space that they couldn't hear our whispers.
Not that we were doing much whispering yet.
Emory seemed to be waiting for me, and I wasn't sure how to start.
She looked beautiful today. Her copper-colored hair shining and her creamy cheeks pinked by the warmth of the sun.
In the end, she threw me a bone.
"I'm glad that you wanted to talk," she murmured quietly with a quick glance behind her at our Defenders. "I was growing afraid that I had offended you."
I sighed heavily and shook my head. "No. Not exactly. I mean… it was hard to learn… learn that you'd lied to me about that day when you said you were sick. But I get it, because I had to cover up for stuff too."
She nodded.
