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?

Ash and I barely spoke. The moment we were hidden by trees from view of the stable or castle, he leaned in to whisper, asking if I was comfortable to let the horses run for some time to get some distance between us. I nodded robotically, and he squeezed my arm, then dug his heels in, pulling the lead-horse with him as his gelding. My mare danced until I let her go—which only took a moment.
Then we were flying.
I'd always loved galloping horses. Their fastest gait was remarkably smooth. But on excellent horseflesh like this, we flew. It seemed my pretty mare's feet barely touched the ground.
