A successful attorney can prepare for a difficult hearing, study every argument, and predict an opponent’s next move. Personal life offers fewer certainties.
Across four connected novels, This Case and My Life follows Chris Roberts as love, ambition, parenthood, and old secrets reshape the future he once thought he could control.
Beyond the Courtroom
Chris has earned respect through discipline and careful thinking. As an attorney, he understands how to organize facts, defend a position, and work toward a clear result. He brings that same confidence into his private life, believing each responsibility and relationship can occupy its own secure place.
Experience gradually challenges that belief.
Created by award-winning author Ana Braunstein, the series places Chris inside an emotional world where every choice reaches beyond the person making it. His relationships with Bridget, Kathy, and Stephanie carry their own histories, expectations, and unanswered questions. As those connections overlap, each character must examine what they value and how far they’ll go to protect it.
Romance remains central throughout the books, while family conflict, comedy, career pressure, and domestic life give the story its broader appeal. Ana allows the characters to make complicated choices and live with the results. Their journeys explore marriage, betrayal, forgiveness, healing, loyalty, and the courage required to accept change.
One Continuing Story Across Four Novels
A case that changes everything
This Case and My Life, the first book, introduces Chris as a successful attorney accustomed to maintaining emotional control. A pivotal legal matter begins affecting his personal world, bringing professional ambition into direct contact with an unexpected emotional awakening.
Legal knowledge can guide his work, yet matters of the heart demand a different kind of honesty. Chris must consider what he truly wants and whether certainty has prevented him from experiencing a deeper connection. The romantic comedy-drama received a Literary Titan Award and establishes the personal questions that continue throughout the series.
The past returns
In This Case And My Life: A Novel Sequel Two, Chris appears to have reached an exciting stage of life. He has built a highly regarded New York City law firm, found love again, and started preparing to become a father.
During a business trip to Chicago, he unexpectedly reconnects with someone from his past. The encounter awakens memories of another possible life. Changes at the firm and new responsibilities at home add further pressure.
Bridget begins noticing small shifts in Chris. Unanswered questions create unease as the couple prepares for their growing family. Through their experiences, Ana considers how trust is shaped by daily actions and how past relationships can influence present commitments.
A family begins taking shape
The third installment, This Case and My Life: A Walk in The Park – Sequel Three, finds Chris secretly searching for an ideal family home. Bridget is preparing for the birth of their first child, giving their future a fresh sense of purpose.
At the same time, Bridget forms an unexpected friendship with Stephanie, a woman who shared an important chapter of Chris’s past. Their lives move closer together as truths remain beneath the surface.
Kindness and second chances guide much of this installment. Warmth, humor, and emotional surprises accompany a thoughtful story about releasing old pain and choosing a hopeful direction.
Christmas brings new responsibilities
This Case and My Life: Christmas is Here – Sequel Four follows Chris and Bridget into their Connecticut home with their daughter, Helen. Their marriage and first Christmas as a family create joyful memories, though Chris’s demanding Manhattan career soon complicates their routine.
An expiring apartment lease and difficult winter travel lead Chris to remain in New York during the workweek. Bridget faces the physical and emotional demands of caring for Helen during his absence, while Chris balances fatherhood, marriage, friendship, and professional obligations.
Elsewhere, Kathy and Stephanie develop their own friendship. Personal revelations and an appealing career opportunity encourage Kathy to think carefully about success and belonging. The fourth book captures how practical choices can quietly transform relationships.
