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?

Hear Me
~ DAVID ~
The words were muttered under Fireknight's breath, designed to be too soft for anyone in the room but me to hear. I had stopped abruptly just two strides away.

I turned and closed the space between us. It could be argued that I'd given him permission to speak freely, though I doubt anyone but Stark would have continued in that vein after I'd ended the conversation.
"Is that the last of your concerns?"
"No."
I made myself keep my face blank. "Whatever is on your mind, speak it in this moment, or hold it forever. I may not allow you the opportunity again."
He did not hesitate. "A man who loves a woman will prioritize her health and wellbeing over his own… indulgence," he said with an upper lip curled dangerously close to a sneer. "And a King who loves a woman will hide her from his enemies that would harm her—not point all eyes in her direction."
