[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?

"How did you get back there?" I called to David, trying not to sound as thrilled as I felt to see him.
"My thoughts exactly," Ash muttered as the King caught up and slowed his horse at my other side.
'I took a short break in the trees," David said smoothly. "Is your horse lame?"
"No, just old and stubborn. Or maybe aware that if he bumps me around too much, I'll end up pulling at his mouth trying to stay up here."
David grinned. "Do you not ride frequently?"
"I did as a child, but it's been years."
"Ah, a lady who prefers her carriages?" he asked like there was something significant about it.
"Carriages? Uh, yes."
"Do the beasts frighten you?" David asked softly, as if he was trying to be sensitive.
"Oh, no, I just—"
"My lady is afraid of nothing," Ash muttered from my other side.
I gulped, but David laughed. "Oh trust me, I'm aware of this."
"Then it seems a strange question to ask," Ash said without looking at either of us.
