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 Heir
~ ZARA ~
We were seated in the grand dining room that reminded me of that old British historical television series we'd watched when I was in middle school. A long, dark, glossy table that spanned fifteen feet with candelabras and a centerpiece, too many pieces of silverware, and no less than three different glasses.
I frowned at everything at the place-setting in front of me, shaking my head.
I just needed a fork.
I was sitting very upright, back into a boned dress, though not as grand as those I'd worn as one of the Select.
My mother sat at one end of the table, a few feet to my right. My father at the other end. Far enough away that he had to raise his voice slightly for us to hear him comfortably.
I was confused because my father had always been a cold, distant man. I'd never been able to please him at all. But since the moment he'd discovered me in that room this morning he'd been acting jovial, and… like we were a family.
