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?

When Zara opened that door, she was so clearly on the edge, it was scary to see.
As if her chest might split open and her heart stop beating at any moment. The circles under her eyes were so dark they looked like bruises. And she trembled from head to toe.
"Is it true?" she croaked.
I blinked. "What?"
"Did I… did you… did we…" She shuddered and screwed her eyes tightly shut. "Before we got to the castle… Did I sleep with you?" Her eyes snapped open again to see my reaction.
It was instinct. Everything in my body recoiled because if she was asking that— "Zara," I licked my lips, "How—?"
"Ash stop stalling and just tell me the fucking truth! Yes or no?! Did I sleep with you before I met David?!"
And that was the moment I had to decide where my loyalty lay, once and for all.
She was falling apart. She was terrified. And angry. And so clearly on the edge I worried for her sanity.
