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?

Hold Me Close
~ ZARA ~
I must have fallen asleep when Ash was visiting, because the last thing I remembered was my Knight Defender staring at me with an intensity that made me feel desperately sad for him.
I hadn't known what to say, and so we sat there together, nearly silent. He kept telling me to rest, and even though I thought I couldn't, the next thing I knew, I woke at a touch and when I inhaled, my heart sang and sucked me out of sleep.
When I opened my eyes, it was white hair on the head bent over my hand.
I reached for him with my free hand, unable to resist burying my fingers in that thick, silver-white mop of hair on top of his head.
"You're here," I murmured, my voice thin and weak from sleep.
