Captivated, Spartak will not bow to superstition. Despite tribal opposition, he wants her as his queen.

(standalone)

http://amzn.com/B00W3T24PK





1096 AD - To redeem a Pagan curse, Palatina the Fae braves the Christian world to embark on an expedition to free the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem from the Turks.

Pierre de Belfort, Christian Knight of Lorraine, swore never to let a woman rule his life, and doesn't believe in love. Thrown together into the turmoil of the First Crusade, on a sacred journey to a land of fables, they must learn to trust each other. For in this war, the true enemy is not human... and discovery could mean burning at the stake.

"... a vivid look at what life could have been for Pagans and Christians alike. Palatina and Pierre are so lifelike, one could expect them to step out of the page, chain mail jingling and swords flashing." 5 stars (exceptional - crowned heart for excellence) Ind'Tale Magazine

"Palatina and Pierre have a magical, but real bond that makes you turn the page to see what happens next. With sexy, sinuous, and dangerous impediments, the metal of this couple is surely tested. By the Rood, Vijaya Schartz sure knows how to turn research and imagination into a Happily Ever After." Hope Chase 5 stars on Amazon.

"a great combination of history, fantasy and adventure coupled with romance... romantic tension between Pierre and Palatina... The religious conflict between Christians and Pagans added to the drive of the story and I found it very informative and enlightening... the writing was very good, the storyline interesting and the characters memorable." Book Nerd Review

Highland Games Through Time-Book #2 is OUT!

As I mentioned in my post on Sept. 10th, my new series is called Highland Games Through Time. I have set the stories in both  present day, at Scottish Highland Games, and in 16th century Scotland. I am pleased to announce that the second book in the series is out! 

My Banished Highlander, though readable as a stand-alone novel, does contain characters introduced in Book #1, My Honorable Highlander.

My hero in the second book is not so honorable! I combined my love of Highland Games, which I visit quite extensively, and all things Scottish. My hubby owns two kilts and belongs to both the Gunn Clan and the MacBeans. Here is some insight into this book:


Book Blurb of MY BANISHED HIGHLANDER


 

With a letter in her hand and a Highlander at her back, what could go wrong?

When his clan convicts Cameron Robeson of treason in 1598 Scotland, the last thing he thought his cousin the Laird would do was banish him to the future. With a certain woman on his mind, he plans revenge while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the modern day New England Highland Games. His plans go awry when a comely redheaded lass wearing the Mackenzie plaid lands at his feet.

Iona Mackenzie is worried about her friend, Haven, and searches for answers among the tents at the games. Whom can she trust to help? Her father? The handsome blacksmith? Or, the tall, golden-haired Highlander? Romance takes a back seat because saving her friend is her priority, no matter how great Cameron can kiss.

When a magical amulet and an angry sorcerer send this unlikely couple back through time, more than one heart will be broken. Danger, intrigue, and threats surround them, and feelings between Iona and Cameron grow hot and steamy. They fight the sorcerer and search for Iona’s friend, the woman he vowed to steal from his cousin. Will the strong-willed Highlander and the present day witch stop fighting long enough to listen to their hearts?

SEDUCING SIGEFROI, Curse of the Lost Isle Book 3 - by Vijaya Schartz

Seducing Sigefroi, Curse of the Lost Isle Book 3

Find it in kindle at http://amzn.com/B008LW18EG $3.99



This is Book 3 of the Curse of the Lost Isle medieval series, and it is out today in kindle. If you don’t have a kindle, you can download the free app from Amazon.com for your computer, tablet, or smart phone.

The first two books in the series are available in kindle, and I highly recommend to read them first, as it’s the story of the heroine’s parents in Scotland, and it also explains what happened to this heroine and her sisters in childhood.

BLURB:

Luxembourg - 963 AD - To offset the curse that makes her a serpent from the waist down one day each month, Melusine, exiled Princess of Strathclyde, must seduce and wed a mortal knight, the shrewd and ambitious Sigefroi of Ardennes.

Sigefroi, son of the Duke of Lorraine, suspects Melusine is not what she appears, but her beauty, her rich dowry, and her sharp political skills serve his ambitions. He never expected her to soften his stone-cold warrior heart.

So close to the Imperial court, dangers and intrigue threaten Melusine. War looms on the horizon, a Mermaid was sighted around Luxembourg, and Sigefroi’s bishop brother questions her ancestry. If anyone ever suspects Melusine’s true nature, she will burn at the stake...

Many other books are coming out soon, but these two form a whole because they have the same hero and heroine. The next novel will skip a generation and feature new main characters.
