"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.

Shy Dawn, kinless and scorned by the townspeople, lives quietly on the edge of the village. It's a lonely existence, but she clings to the fact that her life could be far worse. Skilled as an apothecary, she holds no ill will of anyone and never turns away a person that needs her help. But what if that person is not human, but a dangerous creature feared by humanity in an ever-decimating world? Dawn finds a theron, a shapeshifting creature typically renowned as dangerous, in critical condition and dying by the roadside. Will she go against her morals? Or try to help him and risk further prejudice, or worse, her life. How she comes to a decision all starts with a drink at the bar... ⭕ STATUS: Complete 💬 LANGUAGE: Australian English [en-AU] 🔸 WORD COUNT: 10,000 approx // novelette ✨ WINNER of the Wattpad JustWriteIt challenge: February 2023 - Love Is In The Air ✨ WINNER of the Wattpad Amby Awards 2023: Romance - short story category ⚠️ Recommend ages 13+ Post-apocalyptic style setting.
