About this series
At 6:38 p.m. on November the 8th, 2021, Joshua Campbell-Abrams was kidnapped by an angry, homeless drug addict named Lukas Page. Joshua was severely beaten, suffered a savage concussion, and was held hostage in an abandoned church on the outskirts of Charlottesville for almost seven hours.
During most of that time Colin had no idea where his husband was or even if he was still alive. He only knew that Joshua had been kidnapped and was in the hands of a maniac. Frantic with fear, he joined campus and city police in a joint operation to locate and rescue his missing husband. Using phone logs and GPS tracking, the combined task force was finally able to pin-point Joshua's location and execute a rescue operation.
In the aftermath of this harrowing experience, both Colin and Joshua struggled to find their emotional footing while at the same time, they were preparing for the trial of Lukas Page in which Joshua was a key prosecution witness.
In six of these stories we watch the trial take place. From opening statements to the final verdict and sentencing, we stand with Colin and Joshua as they work to bring Page to justice.
The remaining stories are a window into Colin and Joshua's life in the days preceding the trial and shortly afterward. We watch as Colin struggles with his intense fear of letting Joshua out of his sight, especially after dark. We watch as Joshua deals with the challenges of his injuries both physical and emotional, not always making decisions that are in his own best interests.
They have both suffered an unexpected trauma and don't always demonstrate well-adjusted behaviors in their dealings with each other and with life. But the love they share remains the bedrock of their existence. Their faith in the life they've built together remains unwavering. And in these stories we watch as the power of that love guides them to eventual healing.

- Lawyer on My Case: Fearless Heart, #1.5
1
Colin Campbell had been a champion all his life. Nothing had ever beaten him, not even a drug lord's bullet. And he approached law school the same way he approached everything in life, with cocky confidence fizzing through his veins like ginger ale. He had it all. He had the looks, the brains, the experience, the know-how and he also had the love of his life at his side. He couldn't be defeated... he thought. Love's Lawyer tells the full story of that crucial time period in Colin and Joshua's life. The sixteen short stories in 'Lawyer on My Case' add a bit of spice and flavoring to that tale. Told during the same time-frame or shortly after, these sixteen stories take us to David's cabin where the four friends engage in their usual playful, mocking banter in: 'Conversations at the Cabin'. To Joshua's home in Glencoe were he gives Colin some very old love letters in: 'Love Letters From Josh'. And to the campus police station where Colin gets into big trouble in: 'No Danger THIS Time!'. We examine how Colin, Josh, and their friends deal with being quarantined during COVID in: 'Going On A Date', how they cope with their best friends becoming infected with the deadly virus in: 'Colin VS. COVID'. We also examine how Colin and Josh respond to the thought of having a child in: 'The Child We Want'. We see them in both good times and bad. We examine their text messages in: 'Text Messages', and feel Colin's rage after the George Floyd shooting in Minneapolis in: 'They're Not Cops!'. Each of these tidbits are a profoundly different lens through which we can view Colin and Joshua's life together. Each is a moment which adds to the tapestry of their love and their journey both as individuals and as a couple. I hope you enjoy 'Lawyer on My Case.'

Janice Jarrell
My name is Janice Jarrell. I am a retired grandmother who lives in Seattle, WA. I have two children and three grandsons. I’ve been writing gay romance since I was twelve years old, only back then it wasn’t called ‘gay romance’. In fact, it had no name at all. It was the fifty’s, and it was worth your life to admit to being gay, let alone confess to being a girl who constantly fantasized about relationships between gay men. Hell, I didn’t even know what a homosexual was. I lived on a farm out in the sticks in a tiny Michigan village and I’d never, to my knowledge, even heard the word. I just knew I loved the thought of boy on boy romance. I just knew that there was something hot going on between Tom Corbett and his Space Cadets and all those guys on ‘Combat’. I wrote slash fanfiction for 30 years, writing over 337 stories, some as short as 100 words (a drabble) some as long as a series which was over 119,012 words. I enjoy writing my stories. I enjoyed the feedback I received from my readers. It was a creative release I’d been searching for my entire life and I blessed the Internet for leading me to this artistic oasis for my spirit. Love’s Magic was my very first step into writing my own characters. I will always be grateful the slash fanfiction community for nurturing the budding author until she was ready to blossom into a fully realized novelist. It’s been an amazing thing to watch the gay community’s growth over these past twenty years. My own journey has echoed theirs in many ways, and I’m grateful to all those gay activists who fought to give the gay community the rights and privileges they always deserved. I’m also grateful to the gay romance community, readers, authors, publishers and promoters, who are making these, my retirement years, the most creative ones of my life. When I'm not writing, I'm traveling, walking, hiking, knitting, crocheting, and weaving. I'm very excited about the upcoming release of my second contemporary gay romance novel, Love's Trials. Those of you who fell in love with Joshua and Colin in Love's Magic are in for a treat because they are the STARS of Love's Trials, though they may not thank me for it given the very difficult 'trials' they are about to face. Fear not though. I am a firm believer in HEA!!!
