SEDUCING SIGEFROI
Book 3 in the Curse of the Lost Isle series
Medieval fantasy romance
First book of Melusine (complete story)
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...
"As
always, Schartz spins a great story. It’s a bit bloody and
bloodthirsty in places... But that's part of the drama, and
Schartz certainly knows drama." Manic Readers 4.5 stars
"Ms.
Schartz did a fine job with this offering, and brought elements
to the myth that fleshed Melusine out and made her a sympathetic
character. I think fans of Fantasy romance will enjoy this
steamy version of the myth and fans of the myth might find it
interesting as well." - Julianne Draper -

Curse of the Lost Isle Book 7 (standalone)
medieval fantasy series
1204 AD - Meliora,
immortal Fae and legendary damsel of Hawk Castle, grants gold and wishes on
Mount Ararat, but must forever remain chaste. When Spartak, a

sanctuary, she breaks the rule to save his life. The fierce,
warrior prince stirs in her forbidden passions. Captivated,
Spartak will not bow to superstition. Despite tribal opposition,

embrace it and trigger the sinister curse... and the wrath of
the Goddess? Meanwhile, a thwarted knight and his greedy band of
Crusaders have vowed to steal her Pagan gold and burn her at the
stake...
"It was easy
to get lost in the latest Lost Isle book. I didn't want to put
it down until I was finished. Each character added their own
magic to the whole of the story. Authentic detail pulled me in
as well. But the dog glued me to the tale as did the lovers in
their struggles to HEA." Hope Chase 5-stars on Amazon
"...so vivid I
could picture myself right there... tough, honorable alpha
hero... fiercely protective and loyal mountain dog, Kopec...
Meliora... hints of the strong, rebellious woman she actually
is... not a simple HEA for them... but once they finally get it,
it's wonderful!" Lisa on Amazon
"Historical romance with a different twist...
a new spin on a classic tale...
standalone... Ms. Schartz has a gift that will have readers asking for
more and will have them intrigued by the idea of the other books
in the series." Ind'Tale Magazine
