Why Cheese? - Ellen Mint - Bog

Rock hard men in the sheets, delectable cheese in the streets. Violette Reely walks into her great uncle's abandoned cheese shop then promptly runs back out. You would too if you discovered a secret basement hiding beneath a trapdoor. One second, there's nothing down there but some cheese wheels in an old chest, the next four naked men are chasing her out the door. Refusing to give up the million-dollar property to her wild imagination, Violette returns the next day. Despite the place being ransacked, she's certain she made up those mysterious men who vanished inside a locked store. Then, as the sun sets, cheeses lying on piles of discarded clothing roll across the floor until they poof into the four men from last night. Men who transform into cheese. What the hell? Stoic and domineering, Roq's the de facto leader keeping everyone in line. Everyone that is but Cam, the charming playboy whose smooth lines melt the hardest rinds. Cheddy is a tall hunk of joy, as easy to like as his namesake. And last, but never forgotten, is Brie. Soft-spoken, with an artistic soul, he's the sweet wallflower waiting for the right person to scoop him up. These strange cheese-shifters need Violette's help. Someone must protect them when they're trapped as cheese by day. But, after centuries of being screwed over by their caretakers, they're wary. No one is slower to trust than Roq who expects betrayal at every corner.

He's hiding a secret that could destroy everything he's fought for across the world. But Violette has one of her own. If these cheese-men ever find out, it'll curdle her heart. Can the hardest of cheeses find it in himself to let his heart melt or will these cheese-shifters find themselves chewed up and spat out by life? Will Violette sell off the shop and make off with millions or risk the possibility of cheddar days for these cheesy men? ...
