Dr. Matrissa Prospera is desperate to save her people aboard the Genship DMTR. A band of pirates had seized control of her ship and infested it with a sickness that was quickly wasting everyone she held dear. The doctor is captured while on a rash and dangerous mission on the surface of Lithos I, a wealthy, mysterious and fascinating planet few have ever seen. Her captor has turned out to be equally as enthralling, not to mention incredibly passionate and appealing to all of her senses.

Powerful Irav Tok cannot seem to get enough of the beautiful thief; the one whose skin flushes in rainbow shades while he uses his own rock hard and tender brand of persuasion to evoke the truth of her mission. The longer the beautiful little Phytos remains in his custody, the more the man of stone feels his resolve crumbling at her feet.

While they come from very different species, Irav and Matrissa find their many passions are completely compatible. But Matrissa is in a stationary race against time to help herself and her family. When her ship, in orbit around Lithos I, takes action she must find a way to save them, as well as the planet, before all are lost.

Elaine Lowe has created a new world of passionate possibilities with Seeds of Garnet. Irav and Matrissa are each completely unique, and learning about them and their worlds was quite engaging. Ms. Lowe has a gift for setting a scene and grabbing a reader's attention from the first sentence. As a life-long romance and Sci-Fi fan, I am happy to say these characters and their tale stand up to the scrutiny of a discerning eye. Kudos to Elaine Lowe for this first book in the DMTR series. I will be watching closely for the others to follow.
