Alpaca Lies — Elizabeth Coldwell

Alpaca shifter Alfie dreams of a life beyond the petting zoo at stately Mattock Hall. He can't explore his crush on Simon Mattock, heir to the estate and caretaker to the animals, for two reasons. One, he's never shifted into human form, and two, Simon is saddled with a boyfriend who's exploiting him for his wealth. But when a fire threatens both the zoo and Simon, Alfie knows the time has come to put his fears aside, make his first shift, and save them. He just hopes Simon will like what he sees.
