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?

Warnings and Watching – Part 1
~ ZARA ~
Ash helped me mount and we started out, his eyes darting in every direction—the intensity and tension I'd see in Arinel now fully taking him in its grip.
He'd been so much more relaxed before, I grieved the stress in him now. And I ached because I suspected I knew what was going on in his head.
The easy way he touched me now when he thought he had reason to. The way his eyes stayed on me when we were in a safe space.
And his quiet assurances to my father about getting me out of Arinel safely when the King rejected me.
They were both still firm on that point. I'd gotten my father to agree to let me try to attract the King's attention for Selection, but he insisted on planning for my failure.
It didn't matter.
What mattered was that Ash was falling for me all over again.
