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?

Out of Time
~ ZARA ~
Winter was approaching in Arinel. I was in a damp, stone dungeon deep under the earth dressed in nothing but a thin cotton tunic.
It had been colder and colder each night before now, but this was the first time I'd been woken by the cold, the feeling of the stones under me sucking away what little heat my body generated.
My teeth were chattering.
For the first time, I was genuinely nervous that I might not survive this.
They'd been feeding me well and no one had beaten me, though I'd seen others receive that kind of treatment from the guards. It scared the shit out of me.
That was the thing I clung to every time I started thinking David really had thrown me down here to forget about me.
I was getting special treatment. The guards resented it, telling me it was only because they all believed if I died I'd get free.
