Her Alien Warrior by Sky Robert

An alien warrior’s fated mate may unlock a rut that could just as well kill him as save him.

Both broken from their past, meeting each other could be their second chance at a love worth fighting for.
When Renee, a late 40’s mother of two grown daughters, joins the human exchange program, H.E.T., she had no expectations for joining a study on human attraction to aliens. She was well past her biological clock telling her to breed, and she needed the distance from Earth to figure out what to do with her future.
It wasn’t until she boarded her shuttle, found her eldest daughter lied about her study abroad program being on Earth, and her internship was under an alien general that Renee couldn’t seem to tear her eyes from. He was smart, strong, and her body betrayed her for the first time since she was a teenager, but she was keeping a secret too that she might let destroy her second chance at love.
General Sou-el fought for everything he had, from his title to his very life when he was a spawnling. He had all but given up on having to fight again for a mate, as he was not a warrior of brute strength, but of the mind. He honored his goddess with research to benefit the tribe, as his glands were damaged beyond saving.
At least, he thought so, until he met a human participant in his research studies that has him seeing blue, and experiencing a rut he never thought he was capable of. She was his to claim, if only there wasn’t a chasm of doubt between them and a future commander who’s taken an interest in finding a human mate.

They will each have to fight their inner demons to win a love that could last a lifetime.
