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 Grave You Dug - Part 1
~ DAVID ~
Three days after Erik refused to visit Lizbeth for me anymore I had no choice. I couldn't put it off any longer. I'd already skipped a visit that she'd been assured—with messages to apologize, of course. But while being a busy King would allow me some leeway, I knew Lizbeth enough to know how anxious she became when anything might indicate her own failure.
If I didn't show up this evening, she would assume I had lost interest in her and she might panic.
I couldn't be responsible for that. It was exhausting enough to deal with her need for reassurance. To put her in a tailspin just days before the wedding would be overwhelming.
I tried to ease myself into the contact by inviting her to share dinner with me, hoping the fact that we'd have something to focus our attention on, other than each other, would help me be more at ease.
