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?

Fancy Meeting You Here…
~ STARK ~
My stomach roiled with unease, nerves fluttering behind my navel.
Did she think I'd come to find her?
I hesitated in my progress, then realized it would only create more tension to try to avoid her now, so I walked carefully over to join her against the wall, leaning back as she did, watching.
Neither of us spoke for a long breath. Somehow I knew she was waiting for me to break the silence.
I cleared my throat.
"You're not drinking tonight?"
She gave a little huff. "No," she said darkly. "I'm here watching for my ranks. Men can be… stupid sometimes when they drink," she said dryly.
And then she cut me a look.
I bristled. She didn't smile. Didn't say anything else. She waited.
Well, fuck.
"That's true… I suppose," I said reluctantly.
There was a tense silence for a moment, then she threw me a bone.
