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?

~ ZARA ~
David lay on the same bed I had been nursed in when I was shot with that arrow. It was so surreal to be back in this room, but our positions reversed.
David lay on the bed covered in nothing but a sheet, his long body filling the length of it. I sat on a chair to the side—the same chair he'd sat in, watching me. I held his hand, and we waited.
Whenever the others weren't close or paying attention, he'd stroke the back of my hand with my thumb and murmur reassurances to me that I was pretty sure were more for him than for me.
"It doesn't matter what they find, Zara. We'll find a way to fight it. Even… even if we have to kill her."
"If she's tied to you, she's got no more control over that, or responsibility for it, than you do, David," I said, though deep down I wanted to just agree with him.
"I won't let her come between us," he muttered.
