From USA Today best-selling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes A Baby and a Wedding, a Finding Love - The Outsider Series bridge short story. The events of this short story take place between the events of the number one Western romance The Forgotten Child and Fallen Hero.

When Neil paid for a surrogate and moved her into our home, he told me not to worry, but I couldn't help but notice that she recognized the strong, sexy alpha male inside him, and I suddenly felt as if I was on the outside looking in. Then, one day, I met Cat, the young girl who stole my heart. I saw something in Cat that I couldn't turn away from: a damaged, scarred soul filled with the kind of despair and hopelessness that should never have been in the innocent eyes of a child.

A Different Kind of Love brings back the couple you fell in love with in The Forgotten Child. Now, years later, Brad and Emily are faced an entirely new set of challenges with their preteen autistic boy when his mother, Crystal, returns. She wants a relationship with the boy she abandoned, something Brad and Emily never expected. She says she's changed, but can the Friessens believe her?
