The Long Game

Sheriff of Night, Book Three

By: Joan Amanda Raymond

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two years ago, vampire sheriff Eve Ashford broke every rule to claim Maya and Jordan as her own. Now, as political enemies circle and time marks its passage on the humans she loves, Eve faces an impossible choice: cling to power or fight for the family she never expected to want.

Maya is twenty-four, and her body is already changing—gray hairs appearing, knees aching, mortality announcing itself in ways she can't ignore. She's researched conversion, knows the terrifying odds, and has questions Eve has been avoiding for three centuries. Jordan is caught between two worlds: the vampire politics that threaten everything they've built and a family crisis that reminds him just how fragile human life can be.

When a rival faction launches a campaign to erode Eve's authority from within, she's forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: the rules she's enforced for a century no longer make sense. The only way forward is reform—and that means bringing her unconventional relationship out of the shadows.

A bonding ceremony. A public declaration. A target on all their backs.

As Eve negotiates with enemies and allies alike, Maya and Jordan must decide what they're willing to sacrifice for a love that can never be forever. Because in a world where vampires live for centuries and humans fade in decades, choosing presence over eternity might be the bravest act of all.

The Long Game is the third book in the Sheriff of Night Series, featuring a committed polyamorous relationship (MFF), explicit intimate scenes, and a hard sci-fi approach to vampire mythology. This is a story about mortality, political intrigue, and the revolutionary act of choosing love over fear.

Content note: Explicit sexual content (heat level 4-5), polyamorous relationship, themes of mortality and aging.
