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?

Thoughtful King

It was sheer luck that David's trainers had taught him how to build and keep a fire—apparently survival of the King depended on heat and the capacity to dry clothing… but not food?
Shaking my head at the odd forms of masculine bullshit in this world, I assured him that I could figure something out for breakfast and encouraged him to get the fire going again as it was nothing but glowing coals this morning.
Throwing David's robe around me in case there were errant servants walking past the windows, I dug around in the kitchen and found a paring knife to cut up some of the fruit, and a long fork that allowed me to toast bread near the growing fire, which I buttered heavily. Then, when the cottage was cozy, cuddled up on the couch to eat from the same plate.
