Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella by George Orwell about a group of farm animals who overthrow their human farmer to create a society where all animals are equal, but the pigs eventually seize power and become a new, more oppressive ruling class. The story follows the rise of the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, and their subsequent power struggle, which culminates in Napoleon taking total control, expelling Snowball, and manipulating the other animals. Through the pigs’ transformation into human-like figures, the novella serves as a critique of the corruption of power and the Russian Revolution‘s betrayal of its initial ideals under Joseph Stalin.

She’s been driving him wild for years . . . the good kind of wild.

The kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.

Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World’s Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he’s her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend’s sister, Rosie Belmont.

After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm’s length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay―friction that soon turns to blistering heat.

And the only thing he truly can’t do is resist her
