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?

Watch for Flying... er... Pastries
All three of us started walking again.
I wasn't holding onto either man anymore. I suddenly felt cold on one side.
Ash hovered a little closer than David as we walked slowly back, but none of us spoke now that the others might overhear. I was trying not to let the words about the Watchers and that sad expression on David's face rattle me. But I couldn't help the niggle of anxiety at the idea that these strangers would be watching me for suspicious behavior and that their opinions might affect his view of me.
That felt inevitable, because I didn't belong in this world. Of course I was going to act suspiciously.
Then David turned his head and caught my eye with a thoughtful look.
As soon as we were within twenty feet of the others, a servant rushed to David carrying a silver tray set with several small mugs and porcelain tumblers full of different drinks which they offered to David first, but then at his urging, to me and Ash as well.
