[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 unhinged—all the emotion of the previous weeks, all the pent-up want, fear, and yearning since the wedding—seemed to come alive under my skin.
David gave a deep, guttural roar as he took me, then dropped, sliding hands and arms under me, curling me into him even as he pulled out, then thrust into me again.
There was no space between us. No air. We were one, and gladly. I was crying, but it was with joy as David touched me, took me, moved with me like I was something so precious…
He was everywhere—his hands following the lines of my body, his lips and tongue tasting my skin, his weight pressing me down into the bed, hips rolling, back arching… we touched everywhere, as if even our skins sought more.
I was trembling, but so was he. And with every touch, every stroke, every thrust, we coiled tighter together.
