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?

David shrugged. "I wouldn't know what other word to use. I don't even understand them myself. I cannot fathom them, honestly. I can only assume my father left them for me to find… but I have never… I don't know these things, Zara. You must believe me, the rumors of my birth, of my being raised in sorcery, they are not true! And yet they persist as if they are weeds in a garden—"
"David, it's fine. I believe you. I'm sure there's a logical explanation."
He huffed and gave me a look that said he disagreed, but then he shook his head. "I wish… well, perhaps when we are married. When I cannot be faulted for beind led purely by my… er, heart. When you are Queen I will show you—when you can't leave me," he said, forcing an insincere smile.
I hated that he would even joke about that. He usually showed so much confidence and self-assurance… it was hard to see him doubt himself like that.
