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?

Understanding
I was an idiot.
A happy, giddy, nervous idiot.
Because I loved a man and he loved me, and just because it had happened quickly, I'd let the fear rule my thoughts and our relationship and… And even if there were things here that worried me, the truth was there was more that I didn't want to destroy. So, I had some shit to sort out.
The rest of the ride passed in a blur. I knew David's eyes were on me a lot, but I wasn't brave enough to hold them for more than a second because I was afraid I would give myself away. And I hadn't wanted to smile like a loon and start rumors that I was losing my mind.
When we made it to the picnic spot, the servants had ridden ahead and there was already a marquee set up under the trees, with blankets and a few chairs.
Because our carriage was the first in the line, we arrived a little ahead of the others.
