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 see," she said quietly, then looked around the room. "I had heard you had a favorite… but I was unwilling to place too much stock in rumor until we'd had a chance to speak."
David licked his lips and tore his eyes from mine, turning back to his old friend and smiling. "It's an indulgence, Agatha. There are three, actually, that I've become familiar with—"
That landed like a punch to the belly.
He'd given his name to Emory and Lizbeth as well?
"Dear Lord, David. Are you so callous to speak about the others in front of each of them? What would your mother say?"
I swallowed a lump of fear and pain and blinked.
Was she… standing up for me?
