[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?

I ached for him.
I hadn't ever ached for a man that way. As if this thing inside me was a creature with its own appetites and it insisted—demanded to be fed.
David groaned as he slowly but surely rolled his hips, pulling me against him, until we found a rhythm, mimicking what we both actually wanted to be doing. Until I was gasping.
I didn't want to lose that delicious pressure, but I also yearned to be closer to him, to be skin to skin. But he was covered in clothing—literally throat to toe.
Instinctively I found the knot at his neck, but I knew nothing about these strange ties they called "cravats" so as soon as I had loosened it enough to slide my fingers under it and find the buttons of his shirt, I did.
