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?

I stood in the middle of the sitting room, just shaking and sick. I would not vomit, I told myself. I wouldn't. I couldn't.
My heart beat so hard and fast that my head was throbbing, my scalp pulsing. I couldn't think straight, but I had to. I had to get out of here. I had to get out of this castle. I had to get out of this fucking world!
"Zara?" Ash's voice startled me. It was muffled on the other side of the doors. He must have tried to come in and realized I'd locked it. "Zara, please. Let me… let me say goodbye or… something?"
Then everything that was twisted up inside me turned to stone and dropped with a thunk to the bottom of my stomach.
He'd been right.
Ash had been right, this entire time. And I'd been… I'd just…
Oh God.
