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?

Time for Trust
~ ZARA ~
I remembered that moment back in my apartment where I'd finally gotten through to him that I was in love with David, and would only ever be with him. The way all that tension had gone out of Ash and he'd become… a friend.
As he searched my eyes, I saw the clench of conviction in him. He loved me, but he had finally accepted that he couldn't have me.
He was offering himself for my good now.
I could have hugged him. "Thank you, Ash. Seriously. Thank you."
Both of us got awkward for a second, but there was no time. I cleared my throat.
"What I need is your help. I need you to get Lizbeth out of here so that we can talk to her and find out where her loyalties really lay," I said, praying he'd listen and wouldn't fight me.
Ash blew out a heavy breath. "You want me to get her away… in this crowd… so you can keep your cheating husband?"
I should have known. But as it was, my stomach dropped like I'd been thrown off a cliff.
