When Newport Calls You Home

By Alisa Dumond

He left Newport, Rhode Island, chasing the future. She stayed behind protecting the place she loved. Ten years later, home gives them one more chance.

Theo Callahan never expected to return to Newport. After leaving for Notre Dame a decade earlier, his career carried him from New York to Boston, where he built a reputation for transforming waterfront communities. Now he's back to lead Harbor View-a redevelopment project that could reshape the coastal city he once called home.

Lilia Bennett never left.

After losing both her father and later her mother, she poured everything she had into building Coastal Charters, creating a life rooted in Newport, its people, and the traditions that have always made it home. She refuses to watch her hometown become just another development project-even if it means standing opposite the one man she's never forgotten.

As professional ambitions collide with cherished memories, Theo and Lilia are forced to work together once again. Old feelings return, long-buried dreams resurface, and they begin to question whether protecting the past and building the future truly have to be opposing choices.

Set against the breathtaking beauty of Newport, Rhode Island, When Newport Calls You Home is an emotional second-chance romance about family, forgiveness, and discovering that sometimes the place you leave behind is exactly where you're meant to be.
