Brielle Brieford has spent years delivering milk to the village’s irritable cheese maker, Dairyus Wheymore, dreaming of the day he’ll finally teach her how to make brie. Unfortunately, Dairyus seems more likely to slam the door in her face than invite her into his kitchen.

But Brielle isn’t giving up that easily.

As the seasons pass, stolen moments over bubbling milk and aging cheese turn into friendship, laughter, and something far sweeter. Beneath Dairyus’s sour expression lies a lonely heart, and Brielle may be the only one stubborn enough to soften it.

Filled with cozy kitchens, baby goats, heart-shaped brie, and a romance that only gets better with age, Beauty and the Bries is a warm and whimsical Beauty and the Beast short story fairy tale retelling about love, cheese, and finding someone worth melting for.
