Faith never planned to turn her small pillow-making business into anything more than a passion project—but business is booming, and she’s running out of hours in the day. When Gene Porter, a retired businessman with a knack for expansion, and Maggy, her whip-smart and business-savvy best friend, offer to help her scale up, Faith finds herself facing the one thing she’s always change. Meanwhile, the beach house is as lively as ever. Jen is balancing life as a new grandmother while navigating the ever-growing circle of friends and family who seem to gather in her kitchen at all hours. Carrie and Dirk are eyeing a new investment, and Amber is adjusting to motherhood in a way that surprises everyone—especially herself. As Faith weighs the risks and rewards of stepping outside her comfort zone, Gene is there with his steady, no-nonsense support, making it harder and harder to ignore the growing connection between them. But can she trust herself to take a leap—not just in business, but in love? With negotiations both personal and professional, Newport Negotiations is a heartwarming tale of second chances, found family, and the unexpected turns that lead us exactly where we’re meant to be.
