"So when is it a problem?
Oh, when you're in love."
-----

Simon St. John is a liar, a cheater, a fraud -- but only because he has to be. Born with the ability to shape shift, his childhood was mostly spent learning to control his many faces in a world where most people only wear one. In fact, it was almost fun, in a way, until he met Valerie Love.

Valerie Love is a college student fresh out of luck. For years she has watched her friends fall in and out of love, test the waters of relationships, earn their stripes in the wondrous field of romance. Valerie, however, has watched from the sidelines, passing face after face, meeting person after person without forming many connections. She has mostly given up on the idea of searching for love, until Simon lends her a new hope.

Follow the strange story of college students Simon St. John and Valerie Love as one finally discovers the true definition of identity, and the other questions what it really is to be known.All Rights Reserved

The Reluctant Cougar (Rise of the Alpha King's Heir) by AmouraLucinda

*Complete but still subject to edits* Ben Cougar and Eileen Grau have been best friends since they were kids. For the young cougar-shifter, it was love at first sight. For the ostracized Vampire girl, it was good to have a friend--even if he was six years younger. Time changes all things, however, and when Eileen comes home from college Ben is no longer "little" in any sense of the word. He has a young man's body, a young man's desires, and he's done letting other men break his woman's heart. Ignorant people might call her a cougar, but if Ben has his way, soon everybody will be calling her Mrs. Cougar. Shapeshifter x vampire Older woman x younger man *** A few notes: This story takes place in the late '90s/early 2000s. This is a prequel, and while it does lead into the next story it can be read as a HEA standalone. This is an instant-love, slow-burn story that will include dirty talk and some some tamer aspects of kink-play as the characters' relationship progresses. Also, because I want everybody to have a happily ever after, this story will occasionally take detours into the minds and relationships of the side characters. I hope you enjoy! ***** #1 in cougar 8/2/21 #1 in olderwoman 12/8/21 #1 in youngerman 11/20/21 #1 in fatedlovers 8/2/21 #1 in bloodmates 12/27/22 #5 in loveconquersall 11/5/23 #9 in energy 12/8/21 #12 in empathy 12/8/21 #12 in nineties 11/5/23

To survive, she took the job. Only she didn't realize the job was to transform into a dog, pretend to be a family pet, and recruit and turn others into what they are. With Blake and his son Liam, however, Emma didn't see them as a job; she saw them as a chance at life, love, freedom, and a real family. But what if Raphael finds out? Will their happiness be destroyed? Will this curse be the end? Or will love find a way to conquer all?
