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?

~ ZARA ~
I was relieved. The creak and roll of Agatha's plush carriage, along with the rattle of the wheels on the rutted road was a symphony of sound that would allow us to talk without being overheard.
She'd ordered her servants to ride "atop," which apparently meant they'd stand on baseplates that folded down from the sides and back of the carriage, rather than in its shadowed belly with us.
I felt bad for them, but grateful, too. Because my heart was fluttering and my stomach clenched with nerves. I wasn't great at hiding my emotions at the best of times, but with every step we took towards this, I grew even more undefended.
So, I sat alone with Agatha on the padded seat of the beautiful carriage, shaking my head. I'd left the curtains on the small window open because I still couldn't quite believe the sight.
