Warrior’s Regret by November Dawn

A swift rejection. A lingering curiosity. Will the warrior regret his choice?

Aster is fed up. Winter has been long and lonely and it’s time to take the mate-matching test available for demon hybrids like her. Good news: she has a true mate. Bad news: he rejects her sight unseen. Worse news: everyone at work finds out, and there is no hole deep enough to hide her humiliation.
Until an offer for a new job at a distant hybrid warriors base comes in.
Working for the warriors who protect humanity is great, and to top it off, the commander who’s caught her eye seems to return her interest. But with a true mate lurking in the shadows, will anyone really risk a future with her?
As a hybrid warrior high in the ranks, Cole Yates has no time for a mate, and when his friends almost trick him into meeting his, “Hell, no” is all he has to say. Except now he can’t seem to stop wondering about her, and when a job opens at the base, it’s the most natural thing to suggest her name. Hands-off, business-only, of course.
Yet Aster is nothing like he had expected, and as the attraction grows, Cole wonders if it’s too late to change his choice, and if Aster will want anything to do with him if he admits he’s the one who rejected her.
