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?

Man to Man
~ DAVID ~
When Fireknight strode into my suite and took position on the carpet at attention, he looked like he'd come to face the executioner's gallows.
Ashwood Fireknight, appointed Knight Defender by the King Himself–that was me. Assigned Lady Zara as his ward. And in full betrayal of his vow to chastity and the Crown… in love with her.
The man was tall, broad, capable… deadly.
He stood there as a symbol of my deepest enemy for her heart. And my most precious ally for her safety.
This was a fucking nightmare.
While he stood at attention, readied to follow any instruction I gave, any reassignment of duties, or worse… the only hint of his true feelings was the slight jut of his jaw.
He wanted to resist me. But he was disciplined enough not to.
Which side of him would win if I pressed too far? The soldier, or the lover?
Was I willing to take the risk to find out?
