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?

Under Your Eyes
~ ZARA ~
I looked at Ash who was staring at me, measuring me. But his intensity made me uncomfortable, so I dropped my gaze back to the card, though I didn't read it again.
Them knowing about the ranch idea was impossible. I didn't even journal about it.
I'd always had a weird insecurity about it. I knew the people in my life saw a city girl, not the active, outdoorsy girl I used to be. They'd laugh if I talked about it. I'd never wanted anyone to make fun of me about it and steal the joy of the idea. It had seemed like it was so far out of reach.
How much money had they put in my account? And how had they known where to deposit it?
The more I thought about the details here, the more nervous I got. And that added weight to Ash's nerves, made his concern seem more valid…
Then as my head spun and my heart started beating faster, everything just seemed overwhelming.
Every answer I got seemed to bring more questions.
