Super-soldier bodyguard vs. the man who designed her ๐ฆพ๐

You know my favorite thing about launching Theo Reads?
When authors like New York Times Bestselling author Megan Hart text me "PUSH IT Parneet, push it real good!" about her AMAZING new exclusive: Dangerous Promise (she's a bodyguard to a trillionaire - yes please).
When authors tell me:
"I believe in what you're building."
"I'm excited to see Theo grow."
"Once word gets around, I think Theo will be very popular and successful."
The truth? Building a startup from the ground up is hard. Building one in a space that's reviled by TikTok and Meta? Fucking hard. Building one where all the review platforms only link to Amazon? So fucking hard.
So keeping it real for a minute: thank you for showing up.
Thank you for reading our stories - especially the ones you pay for. YOU are helping us change an industry that's been dominated by a single company for 35 years. 35. Years.
We're not going anywhere. Buckle in.

 โTHANK GOD FOR THIS BOOK! I'm only a few chapters in and I love the writing and the badass bodyguardโฆโ | By Megan Hart (๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ Enemies to Lovers, Bodyguard Romance, Forced Proximity, Billionaire Playboy) She's a super-soldier. He's the billionaire who created the tech - and now wants to destroy it. They're about to have problems (the sexy kind). Ewan built the enhancement technology. Now he's lobbying to ban it. Nina owes her life to his creation. Now she's his bodyguard. He made her. He wants to unmake his legacy. She just wants to keep him alive (and maybe kiss him). |

 โI hated Levi at first, but at the end of the book, I was ready to get on my knees for him.โ | By Rose Gravestone ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ Dark romance, Enemies to Lovers) Enemies-to-lovers so intense you'll need to put your phone down (but you won't). Arya Knight is one courtroom victory away from making partner at New York's most prestigious law firm. But her client is hiding deadly secretsโand she's caught in the crossfire. Levi Thorn is an espionage agent with one job: take down the man Arya is defending. They're on opposite sides of an impossible situation. Every meeting is forbidden. Every touch is a betrayal. But some attractions are too powerful to deny. |
