Guarded Heart *OCxKimKardashian*
*Spin off from 'Love and Touchdowns'*
Jay Mitchell, a 37-year-old Master Chief in the Navy SEALs, is a trailblazer as both the first female and first intersex team leader in SEAL history. Fierce and formidable, she's earned a reputation for unmatched precision and tactical skill. But off the battlefield, Jay is a tightly guarded mystery, her past marred by a violent childhood that left her with unhealed scars. The only people she allows close are her Bravo Team, particularly her second-in-command, Sonny Quinn-known as Tex-who is the only one to truly earn her trust.
Outside of Bravo, Jay's world is limited to a few select connections, including Danny, a retired Marine sniper who owns **Dead Center**, an elite gun range frequented by top marksmen and the occasional celebrity. Danny is the closest thing to a father figure Jay has, offering a sense of stability and care she rarely finds elsewhere. Jay and her rescue pit bull, Gunner, often spend time there, training and finding brief moments of peace.
One day, Jay's solitary routine is interrupted when she meets Kim Kardashian, the reality star seeking training for an FBI role in Quentin Tarantino's new film. Kim is instantly mesmerized by Jay's lethal skill and composure, wanting the SEAL's expertise to prepare for her role. Initially resistant, Jay is persuaded by Danny to take on the challenge, viewing it as a chance to connect with someone beyond her inner circle.
What begins as a purely professional arrangement shifts as Kim's determination and grit surprise Jay. Slowly, the two form an unlikely bond built on mutual respect and unexpected similarities. Kim pushes past her limits, determined to step into a warrior's shoes, while Jay faces her own struggles with trust and vulnerability. As the training deepens, Kim transforms not only for her role but also becomes a source of strength for Jay, revealing that there's more to life than war and walls-maybe even room for friendship, healing and Love.
