    "description": "Manhattan\u2019s It Girl, Natalie Grayson, has it all: she\u2019s a hot exec at a leading advertising firm, known industry-wide for her challenging and edgy campaigns. She\u2019s got a large circle of friends, a family that loves her dearly, and her dance card is always full with handsome eligible bachelors. What else could a modern gal-about-town wish for? The answer, of course, is...cheese.\n\nNatalie\u2019s favorite part of each week is spending Saturday morning at the Union Square Farmer\u2019s Market, where she indulges her love of all things triple cream. Her favorite booth also indulges her love of all things handsome. Oscar Mendoza, owner of the Bailey Falls Creamery and purveyor of the finest artisanal cheeses the Hudson Valley has to offer, is tall, dark, mysterious, and a bit oblivious. Or so she thinks. But that doesn\u2019t stop Natalie from fantasizing about the size of his, ahem, milk can.\n\nRomance is churning, passion is burning, and something incredible is rising to the top. Could it be...love?",
