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?

The Defender – Part 1
~ ZARA ~
Heart in my throat I followed my father to the formal parlor, as he'd called it. Which was just a sitting room with a lot of nice chairs and couches, a piano, and tall, wide windows that let in natural light.
My father ushered me to a two-seater couch under the window and urged me to sit. One of his servants swept into the room, bringing a message that he read without giving any indication what it was about, then he sat next to me.
Under my skirt, I was tapping my heel on the floor—partly through impatience, partly through tension because this was Ash, but… but the Ash I didn't know. Wasn't it? Or when I left our world did he come back to this time too? But he remembered it, so he must have been here before, right?
My head spun, trying to fit the pieces together and I didn't know what to do. My heart was beating quickly and I twisted my fingers together in my lap.
