[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?

Ash chuckled, teasing me about my seat on the horse and I couldn't help but laugh. It had been so long since I'd seen this side of him.
It reminded me of that day when we'd gone riding with the Select, when he and I and David went walking together.
We had just walked past several of the other women, who were spread out over large blankets, mostly in the shade of the big Weeping Willow, when a feminine voice rose from my right.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! You must come try this Spotted Dick! I've just discovered it and I love it!"
David turned to face the woman just as the giggles hit me and I spat my water in a spray so wide it created a rainbow before it reached the grass.
"Are you quite well, Lady Zara?" David asked tightly, his expression completely blank. Ash gaped at me, but I saw the twinkle in his eye.
