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?

The Endless Wait
~ ZARA ~
Abigail fluttered and hummed and seemed almost giddy.
There was no way she could know what was happening, but she acted like she understood. She definitely knew something was up—I'd never called for her before time to get ready for whatever was happening that day, let alone at dawn, flushed and rumpled and shamefaced as I asked for a bath and for her to wash my hair.
That alone would have piqued her suspicions about David and I.
Of course, she thought we'd been involved physically for weeks now. But when she showed up with a battery of servants who placed the massive copper tub in front of the fire and began ordering them around with a near-giddy trill in her voice…
Well, if she didn't guess it was a wedding, she definitely knew something important was happening.
Then I realized, she probably thought David had told me he'd name me Chosen. She probably thought I was preparing ahead because I knew what was coming.
