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?

~ DAVID ~
I was woken by a small, gentle hand, the most beautiful voice in the world whispering my name, and the movement of the heavy quilts.
I jerked awake and started to sit up. But that hand landed on my chest, flattening right over my heart.
The moonlight slanted through the wide windows of my bedchamber made her skin glow near-silver and turned her smiling lips dark.
"Zara?!" I croaked.
"I'm here. I found you," she whispered, pushing the covers aside completely and crawling into my lap.
I was immediately hard, straining, my chest tight with anticipation and overflowing love, desire and... something else. Something dark.
Something was wrong.
