Where the Roots Begin by D2O9R0I8

What if you had the ability to write? What if you couldn't control the story you created? And what if, the magic kingdom your hands are so keen on writing about turned out to be real? Alessandra is used to the way things are. Life isn't great, but in no time she'll leave her small town behind. Everyday is the same to her, that is, until she gets kidnapped and taken to a Lab, where she receives training for what's on the other side of a mysterious portal -even though no one really knows what that is, exactly. When Alessandra is sent through, she finds herself in a strange forest, with the young king of an old kingdom, very much like the place she dreams and writes about. But this place is different, and once Alessandra starts unraveling the truth, she realizes some things are better kept hidden.

Her Knight in Camelot by MarieHiggins

A modern-day man's ordinary life shatters when a fierce, enigmatic woman bursts into his world, claiming to hail from the medieval era. Her mission? To drag him back through time to the legendary kingdom of Camelot. The only problem-he doesn't believe in magic, knights, or anything she's saying. But the past won't take "no" for an answer. Camelot is on the brink of ruin. The king is dead, the realm is in chaos, and the rightful heir-spirited away to the future by ancient magic-has been lost to time. Desperate to save the kingdom, Merlin's inexperienced granddaughter is assigned the task of retrieving the true king. She journeys to the modern world, armed with little more than a handful of spells and a fierce determination. But the future is far stranger than she imagined, and the lost Arthur-now an ordinary man-has no memory of his royal destiny. To make matters worse, she's misplaced the one magical artifact capable of returning them to Camelot. Time is running out, and the fate of the legendary kingdom hangs by a thread.
