On his doctor's recommendation, Alex signs up to an online dating site and creates a profile as Xander. His searches find nobody of interest, and he's about to dismiss it as a bad idea when Roxy posts a message to him.

Rosario is an investigator for the dating site, and the tone and content of Xander's profile cause her to red-flag him as a financial predator. She creates a wealthy widow profile as Roxy to initiate contact and honey-trap him.

Surprised by how well her interests fit with his, Alex responds. Their messages become longer and more complex, and after a few days, he invites her to dinner. Not long into their first date, he suspects he's being catfished, but hungry and intrigued by Roxy, he decides to play along with her and enjoy the evening.

Unexpected by 1dcali_to_uk

It just can't be true" I thought to myself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucero, green eyes and golden hair, average height, light skin, and the nicest person you will ever meet! She can't say 'no' to practically anything. Xander, dark brown hair and green electrifying eyes. He's been through it all. Now living on the street, feeling nothing but hopeless because of bad turn of events even he can't explain.= They meet of course. Lucero thinks its only temporary, but she'll see that she is about to experience the Unexpected. ( Currently going through some editing because I wrote this when I was younger and didn't realize that I wrote some really cliche things. No big changes just some small editing. )

Adapting to the culinary chaos soon becomes the least of Miguel's worries as he finds himself falling for Alejandro, an outspoken chef who treats him with more compassion than even his own kind. But what human would ever love a chupacabra? With the restaurant struggling to stay afloat, inter-species tensions flaring, and Alejandro's ex serving as a constant reminder of what he can never be, will Miguel be able to take the heat, or will he be forced out of the kitchen?
