In the 3 yrs since solving his beloved Trudy's brutal murder, Adrian Monk has become new man. Free from pain, loss, & injustice, he rediscovers that life is a gift that he wants to start living again - with Natalie at his side. But, our noble detective must rediscover something else that's been long forgotten: all's fair in love and war. Will he prevail? And what will be the cost?

From their very first meeting, this is an imagining of Elizabeth and Nathan falling in love, as they surely are starting to do on "When Calls The Heart." Nathan is more of a romantic than any of us could guess, and Elizabeth is destined to be swept off her feet. Sad as it may be, Jack is gone, and time heals even the most broken of hearts. Elizabeth deserves to be happy.

Monk and Natalie face their greatest trial to date. Will their marriage survive? Will they?

All Monk wanted to do was pick up a watch; but soon, he and Julie Teeger found themselves in a fight for their lives, and it was unclear whether either of them would survive. MONK/NATALIE PAIRING. A collaborative effort from KittyKat06 & MonkNotJunk.
