Monarch

Claire Lance once had a knack for finding trouble while on the run from the law. Now, years after settling down, trouble has found her.




Claire and her wife, Jodie, have been settled for six years in the quiet Washington island town of Squire's Isle. Claire's about to become sheriff. She faces a lifetime of whale-watching tourists, traffic tickets, dine-and-dashers, and purse snatchers. Her dark past and days on the run are behind her. But a secret criminal operation and the murder of a fellow police officer show that her days of being Claire Lance, vigilante folk hero, may never be over.




Isolated from the mainland and FBI backup by a ferocious blizzard, Clare puts on her armor and prepares to do battle with bad men.




Return to Geonn Cannon's Squire's Isle in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. A familiar cast of characters, new action and consequences, and a loving relationship all feature in this small town story.
