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?

"Captain Stark? The King requests your attendance. He's holding Audience, Sir."
I nodded and took the note—scrawled in David's hand, but little more than a demand to attend him. Then I thanked the young messenger and marched as quickly through the halls of the castle as I could without drawing attention.
His Audience Chamber was at the center of the castle and would take several minutes to walk. But I would not delay. David had been avoiding me as much as possible for days. If he was calling for me now, there was a problem.
As I passed the servants scurrying through the halls, and the guards on patrol, I kept my eyes high and gait determined, so none would be tempted to ask me to slow or speak. But I sighed through gritted teeth.
David was the problem.
