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?

~ DAVID ~
My rage at Emory began to burn again as Zara described that conversation, the disrespect and disdain that Emory had shown her would have incited my ire to such a degree, I might have imprisoned her anyway, even without knowing she was a Physicist. Had I not known that Zara betrayed me, had perhaps earned the disdain, I would have had the woman punished. But Zara wasn't done.
"That night… with Ash… he was the one who lied, David. Not with his words—he used something innocent to convince you that something was going on between us, because he… he was jealous. And he was also… he was working to try and keep me safe. He's been walking a line between you and my father for months. I didn't know, David. I didn't know any of it."
Her eyes locked on mine and even though they were bloodshot, her emphatic determination to show me her heart was… undeniable.
