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?

Lizbeth had lost weight in the weeks I'd been gone, which would have worried me, but I couldn't spare her a thought. Because standing in front of her, holding both of her hands, was David.
David, not smiling.
David, so pale his skin looked ashen.
Adrenalin flooded my veins. He didn't want to be here. He didn't want to do this. He was terrified and angry and…
Why was he here?
Even as my eyes landed on him and I wanted to scream, the crowd roared again. Because behind them, a Priest stood with one hand raised, calling for the people to be quiet so that the ceremony could begin.
No. NO!
But as Stark hissed a curse behind me, and I was about to dive into the crowd to try and make my way up there, something caught my eye.
Something on the Priest.
I was confused for a moment about why my body gave a new jolt of adrenaline. I couldn't see what was making my heart pound even harder.
