Between Commitment and Betrayal: An Arranged Marriage Romance (Hardy Billionaires) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars (23,463)

My father's business partner will do anything for the empire they built together...Even marry me.

Declan Hardy, All-American heartthrob and retired NFL billionaire, is my complete opposite.
He's commanding where I'm cooperative.
Spontaneous while I am deliberate.
Loud when I stay quiet.
The only thing we have in common is that both our names are on my father's will.

He'll inherit the fitness and hospitality empire and I'll keep the one thing I hold dear.
As long as I marry him—with conditions.

One year of a fake marriage.
One year of living together.
One year of pretending I belong in his luxury lifestyle.


But stipulations are never that simple.
Especially when I can't tell if his kisses are fake or if I'm pretending when I kiss him back.
And as more conditions arise, it's clear there's a fine line between commitment and betrayal... and neither of us knows where that line falls.

Between Commitment and Betrayal is a billionaire, forced proximity, fake marriage of convenience and a father’s business partner novel. It is a complete standalone by Shain Rose.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I wanted to experience everything with my wife of convenience. Babies, weddings, the happily ever after. The inconvenient part of it was, I wasn’t sure she wanted the same."

"She was the beauty of a gathering storm over the ocean right before lightning struck."

"She was my business partner's daughter and completely off-limits."

“Changes can save you, but they can also destroy you.”

About the Author

Shain Rose is a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author

Shain writes romance with an edge and loves to deliver an emotional rollercoaster ride or two before we get to the happily ever after.

She lives where the weather is constantly changing with a family she hopes will never change. When she isn’t writing, she’s spending the days with her husband, two kids, and a wild golden retriever. Yes, it takes a lot of coffee and candy to keep her sane.

On the off chance she’s not writing or spending time with family and friends, she’s calling them to talk. And if no one answers, then she’s reading romance or watching trashy TV.

5 out of 5 stars
Declan Hardy ❤️❤️
Between Commitments and Betrayal was an excellent novel by Shain Rose. I love all of the novels that surround the Hardy family starting with Fractured Freedom and Corrupted Chaos. Declan Hardy is briefly introduced amongst the two previous novels above about the Hardy sisters. He is 1/6 siblings (3 brothers and 2 sisters). He is a former NFL player and a partial ruler to an empire of high class fitness centers, hotels and more. Everly, Evie, is the daughter of the other empire partial owner. Escaping her past she looks forward to making her own path and trying to blend in. Never did she expect for so many commitments and betrayals to fall upon her. This novel had me on the edge of my seat at every turn. The steam 🔥🔥🔥🥵, the banter ❤️, the romance evolving every moment. It was a perfect story for Declan and Evie!! If you’re looking for … 🔥steam with a possessive alpha 🔥forced proximity 🔥Fake Dating/Marriage 🔥Marriage of convenience/Arranged Marriage 🔥HEA … then look no further. Also, check out Fractured Freedom by Shain Rose for Delilah’s and Dante’s story ❤️

    Everly needs a change so moving to be work for her estranged father seems like the perfect option. Unfortunately before she can really get to know her father he passes away leaving her forced to marry his partner and eligible bachelor Declan. At least it's only for a year and than everything will be taken care of. Will she be able to walk away at the end of the year?

    I really like Everly she's such a great character I just felt that I could really connect with her and cheer her on as she navigated her new life. I just loved Declan he's just so swoon worthy he checks all the boxes. I love the steamy sizzling chemistry between them it just works so well even when they are both trying to deny the connection.

    I devoured Between Commitment and Betrayal in just one afternoon because I had to know how it would play out. I love the characters I had a few moments when I wanted to slam my book closed but they redeemed themselves. I enjoyed the story it was fast paced with a swoon worthy romance and just the right amount amount of spicy. I love that we have so much of Declan's family in the story they are such a great compliment as well as Clara.

    This is my first book by the author but I'm obsessed with her writing style. She's created a complex yet beautiful story that captured my heart as well as my imagination. I just loved every moment of Everly and Declan's sweet romance. I already have the next book ready to go and can't wait to dive into the next Hardy brother's romance. Perfect for fans of Marriage of convince and steamy billionaire romance.

    💍 Between Commitment & Betrayal 💍 (Book 1 of the Hardy Billionaire series) by Shain Rose

    4/5 ⭐️
    3/5 🌶️

    ✨ THIS one is for all my “My Wife” girlies. I’m telling you right now - I never thought I’d find a story that made me 🫠🫠 at the words - but DECLAN 👏🏼 HARDY came in and said “I’ll prove you wrong”. And oh em gee did he!

    💍 I truly loved it. The entire thing was fantastically written and the characters give you a run for their money. I truly enjoyed their dynamic and their push and pull, especially when circumstances force them into a marriage neither of them wanted - especially not to each other.

    ✨ Evelyn was such a fierce FMC - she truly stood her own and was a bad 🍑- she took care of herself and didn’t ask for anything from anyone. She had me in some moments, because all she wanted was to be loved. Her story reminded me a bit of Cinderella and the evil step sisters - except one of them isn’t evil (the redhead THANK GOD) but the other one was the WORST. I wanted to 🥊 Anastasia more times than I could count.

    💍 Declan Hardy - former NFL superstar turned billionaire mogul who pretty much would’ve done anything to keep the company he built from the ground up. Including marrying the one person he didn’t want to - until he did. The MOUTH on this man *chefs kiss* - if you want a praise man - this one is SO SO GOOD. He also had me clenching my chest because he made me so emotional.

    ✨ The angst, the spice, all of it was superb! This story is fantastic! The only reason I deducted a ⭐️ was because I couldn’t stand how the FMC was *ALWAYS* biting the inside of her cheek - it was just icky for me lol. She could’ve been doing anything else!

    Reviewed in Mexico on July 1, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Quiero ser sincera y decir que este libro logró atraparme hasta la mitad de la historia. Le batalle en continuar y llegar a la primera parte del libro, sentía que no pasaba nada, los protagonistas no llegaban a establecerse y sin saber lo que querían el uno del otro, en especial Everly no lograba entenderla por completo, era muy indecisa con respecto a si estar con Declan o no, no quería tener nada que ver con nadie pero aún así le hacía creer a Declan que quería estar con otra persona pero se molestaba si él mostraba interes en alguien más justo cuando Declan ya había más que dejado en claro con sus palabras y gestos que la quería a ella. Pero Everly empeñada en alejarlo cuando a Declan no le importaba lo más mínimo tener que asumir las consecuencias del pasado de Everly.
    Después de que el libro empezó a darme pistas de a dónde se dirigía la historia empecé y entender más el por qué actuar de Everly, conseguí engancharme con el libro. Y debo decir que lo disfruté bastante. 😊

    My first book from this author and couldn’t help but adore it. So much that I’m already looking forward to reading the next book from this series. It had everything I needed it: great plot, some heartbreak, arranged marriage (which has been years I didn’t read one!), an utterly obsessive, protective and loving man - seriously where can I find a Declan for me? - lots of steamy and some characters that I couldn’t help but wanting to smack in the face, hard.

    But whom I loved the most was Evie. She was fierce! Strong, smart, dedicated… she had her own demons from the past and after moving to Florida to escape that and trying to be closer to her estranged dad, he end up dying and leaving a absolutely ludicrous will. And that, folks, it’s how everything turn spicy, yummy and so great.

    Declan and Evie have a super connection and even though they were forced to be married, their true feelings were nothing but real. They both fought their feelings for each other, but it was obvious to everyone the love it existed. I enjoyed the twist that he was the one more sunshine and the one who claimed her and clearly was ready for forever. She had so much to overcome and it was refreshing how reserved she was.

    At some point, their story remembered me the Cinderella one, where there’s an evil stepmother and two stepsister who thought they were own everything.
    All in all I loved and had to much fun. Totally recommend.
