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?

Secrets – Part 2
David pushed out of the couch to stand. He stared at me a second longer, then he stepped around the low coffee table and started to pace in front of the fire, his face tight and frustrated.
"You always press me forward," he muttered.
It was true, but it just made me mad that he was willing to say it. "I'm only asking you to be honest! That's all I'm asking for!" I pushed out of the couch and planted myself in front of him as he passed so that he drew up short, his face angry.
"Honesty? Honesty is a weapon in the right hands, Zara! If you think being honest can't hurt—"
"Of course it can, but that's why it's so important! Why are you avoiding the question?!"
He gave me a dark look. "Because it should be evident! You shouldn't make me… I can't…"
"You're the King. You can do anything you want!" I folded my arms, not wanting to admit I felt a lot more vulnerable than I should have.
Why wouldn't he answer?
He huffed. "I can't say this. I shouldn't say this!"
