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?

Keep Breathing
When I left Emory's suite with all the answers I didn't want and incapable of deciding whether I believed her or not, I was so consumed, I barely looked at Ash as I walked out.
He shadowed me down the hall to my suite, then insisted on searching the rooms again, even though he would have seen someone enter from his position down the hall with Ernst. But I was too preoccupied to argue, so I stood just inside the door while he made sure everything was safe.
"Zara, what's wrong? What happened with Emory?" he asked when he'd finally freed me to move around and I took a seat on the couch, pulling my feet up next to me, heedless of how the skirts would wrinkle. I hugged a small, decorative pillow to my chest and tried to get my head straight.
My very sore muscles kept pressing in on me. Reminders of the tangible nature of this place. The way I still had all the urges, pains, and boring drags of a real life, even though it was a dream.
