BETRAYED: A Small Town Romantic Suspense (Sheppard & Sons Investigations Book 4) Kindle Edition
Blake ~ In two months, I’d graduate with a law degree making my late mom proud. I couldn’t wait to make a difference in the world – not with my millions but with hard work. I was living a charmed life until I opened an anonymous note threatening my life. As if midterms weren’t stressful enough, I'd have to deal with an overbearing beast of a man disrupting my life.
AJ ~ I chose the role of protector (Army, bodyguard, PI) and channeled my anger for good. Refusing to end up like my father, I was committed to the bachelor lifestyle. But one look at Blake turned my world upside down. My life was uncomplicated - until I was assigned to protect the object of my desire.
Perceptions are challenged when AJ and Blake escape to a safe house. Just as spark start to fly, they’re forced to make a decision that could separate them forever. Only a hero's courage can save them.
This standalone, fourth in the series, slow burn, small town, romantic suspense features an overprotective man and a woman in danger. They'll get their HEA, but only after redefining what it means to love. The intense action may not be for everyone. Use Read Sample to check the copyright page for details.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Eveline Rose has truly outdone herself with Aj's character, as Blake's naivety gives way to a profound understanding of Aj's true nature, revealing a kind-hearted individual worth more than her vast wealth. I love reading about characters from previous books in this series and how their lives & relationships have progressed.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025Eveline Rose has done it again. Each new story is my new favorite! After each story you are excited for the next one. You will never be disappointed when you read her books!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2025Betrayed by the people who should love you. Great characters finding their self worth and family and throw in a little danger and some kick ass alpha security unit will keep the pages turning.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Another wonderful entry into the series.
No spoilers in this review - but the suspense portion of this book brings it to a whole new level. Reader beware - if you get to that part and it's late, you're stuck! You get a late bed time (And it's worth it)!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Unlike the 3 previous books this one did not disappoint! Can’t wait for the next book! Keep writing Evelyn and I’ll keep reading!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025AJ is such a strong, flawed, and protective man. Apparently I like that in a man. Blake is no slouch either. I love how Ms Rose shows the strength of her female characters and it blends perfectly with the protective Sheppard clan. Also there were some laugh out loud moments. Danny’s nickname was spot on. Another gem.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025Definitely a page turner, keeps you on your toes in more than one way…The mystery AND the love story! Who doesn’t love a protective male lead paired with a strong independent female lead?!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2025Do you enjoy Bodyguard romances? Enjoy a damsel in distress theme? If you really crave a nice opposites attract, BETRAYED is one to read! BETRAYED is the fourth book in the Shepperd and Sons Investigations series. Each book features a member of the SSI staff saving someone.
