[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?

My entire body ached to take him as I felt him press against me.
I threw a hand back to hook around the back of his neck as he leaned over me, watching himself touch me, his voice growing ragged, his breath tearing out of his throat, his entire body shaking.

"David, please—"
"Oh, god, Zara. I need you!"
"I'm here!"
His breath caught. He dropped his head to my shoulder as his cries grew harsher. The desperate sound of him stoked the fire rising again in me so that I stopped thinking about anything except the growing pressure, the rising tide that would lead me back to that peak. I clung to him, bracing against him, pressing into his touch. My body humming and singing as his fingers played against my skin and he threw his head back and called my name.
