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?

I glared at Raymond.
"You told Zara that from the time of our birth, you and my father had plans to unify us when we were adults. Explain."
His upper lip pulled towards a sneer, but he raised a shaking hand to the table, his hand clenched to a fist. The chains clinked, but he ignored them, leaning on its surface. For support? Or in a show of confidence? It bothered me that I couldn't discern the difference.
"Your father and I were… intimates," he said reluctantly. "Before Zara's birth we had discussed the idea, and when we had girls, it only cemented the sense of it all. Yes, we betrothed you in secret and planned to marry you to each other when you were old enough."
"When did that plan change?"
"You'll have to ask your father," Raymond said with a sly smile.
The blow landed, but I didn't flinch. I raised my chin with a warning in my eyes. "At what point did you become aware that this plan was not going to happen?"
