The Outside Child by Tiffany L. Warren 
Published by Dafina on August 28, 2018
All of Chenille Abrams’ dreams came true the day she married NFL star Brayden Carpenter. He’s the down-to-earth, loving, and protective man she never thought she'd find. And with her own successful career, Chenille plans to be more than just a famous athlete’s wife. She's determined to balance work, marriage, and motherhood, as the couple awaits their first child . . .
Until their son is born with a crippling heart ailment. Until a devastated Brayden starts putting his career above everything else. And when tragedy strikes, Chenille struggles to find a reason to go on—as Brayden takes comfort from anywhere but home . . .
Little by little, Chenille picks up the pieces as she and Brayden try to make their marriage work once more. But when he fathers a baby that the mother can’t keep, will this be the final blow? Or can they find a way past betrayal into unexpected hope—to at last have a future worth
everything?
Chenille Abrams, Makeup Artist Extraordinaire is in Jamaica for a music festival. Her reservations at the hotel, and that’s when she meets NFL football player, Brayden Carpenter. Brayden not only helps her out, but he also steals her heart. When a tragedy happens, it threatens to tear them apart. Will love win or will they move on.
This is a beautiful story that speaks to commitment, married life and most of all love. Ms. Warren is an excellent writer that had me in tears at the end of this story. The characters are well-developed, the writing is sharp. I hope this is one of those books that get picked up and turned into a movie.
I highly recommend and have tissues on standby. Just saying.
