The Reckoning

Sheriff of Night, Book Five

She's held absolute power for two centuries. Now she has to choose: her authority—or her heart.

Five years into her relationship with Maya and Jordan, vampire sheriff Eve Ashford faces an impossible reckoning. The humans she loves are aging. Gray threads in Jordan's hair. New lines on Maya's face. Every day brings them closer to an end Eve will have to witness—unless she converts them.

But conversion carries a price Eve can't pay. The bond between maker and convert would reshape who they are, and Eve would rather lose them to time than replace them with echoes of the people she loves.

When a powerful rival offers Eve a way to share her authority—to finally have time for the life she's been building—she's forced to confront a question she's avoided for three hundred years:

What does she actually want?

As Maya and Jordan push for answers about their future, Eve must decide if she's willing to become someone new. Someone who chooses love over power. Someone brave enough to let go of everything she's been.

Because forever doesn't mean eternity. It means presence. And presence requires sacrifice.

The Reckoning is the fifth book in the Sheriff of Night Series—a steamy paranormal romance about love, mortality, and the courage to choose.
