Return To Haven

A Georgia woman inherits her hometown’s run-down airport, and a shot at love—from the USA Today–bestselling author of the Monroe Series. At eighteen, Olivia Daniels left Haven, Georgia, behind and never looked back. Doggedly climbing the corporate ladder, she’s finally nearing the top when her father dies, leaving her part-owner of the run-down airport that was his first love. It’s a complication Olivia intends to wrap up quickly, buying out her co-owner and selling the land. Good thing her two childhood best friends are with her for moral support. Because one look at her new partner is proof that her tidy plan has hit turbulence… Jackson Morgan practically grew up in Haven’s airport, and no one could have been a better mentor than Olivia’s dad. While flight is in Jackson’s blood, his roots are firmly planted, and there’s no way he’s giving up the airport—not even for sassy, headstrong Olivia, his childhood crush. Coming to an agreement won’t be easy, especially when the attraction between them soars to new heights every day. Love definitely wasn’t on the itinerary, but it could be enough to keep them together for a lifetime trip...

In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.

Having been abandoned as a newborn and found and raised by Pastor Ezekiel Freeman in the small California town of Haven, Abra Matthews feels like she doesn't belong and at the age of seventeen runs off to Hollywood, becoming starlet Lena Scott.
