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?

Who’s to Blame?

An hour later, when everyone but Ash had finally left, I was just sitting there, staring at the wall. Servants came and went, bringing food and drink and some herbs the doctor had recommended which I dutifully took.
I was biding my time, waiting until we were finally left completely alone.
But after an hour of constant interruptions, I finally put my foot down. When the third servant came in to see if I would like a fire in the fireplace, or another rug over my lap, I sighed.
"I want to sleep," I said. "I want people to stop coming in."
Ash jumped, immediately, ushering the woman out, and notifying the guards at the door not to allow anyone in who wasn't my parents or the doctor.
