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 2
~ ZARA ~
My father and Ash spoke for a good twenty minutes then, my father querying and Ash filling him in on his more recent responsibilities.
I couldn't even take in the details of names and locations, because I was just staring at Ash. Avid. Nervous. Fascinated. Scared.
It was clear that, first and foremost, his loyalty lay with my father. He was admittedly vowed to the King of Arinel—David. And yet, it was equally clear that he placed himself at my father's feet—and gladly.
Ash wasn't just ambitious… he was intentionally feeding my father's ego, ingratiating himself.
Who was I kidding, he was kissing my father's ass, lips puckered and a smile on his face—doing everything he could to make certain my father knew that he'd serve loyally and eagerly. I was stunned.
