Guarded Hearts

At twenty, Ava Hart has spent years proving that hard work and determination can turn an ambitious idea into something extraordinary. Her award-winning emissions reactor could change the future of cleaner technology. But her latest achievement attracts attention from people who would rather see her invention destroyed than succeed.

​It begins with anonymous threats. Then a devastating explosion destroys her parents' garage, turning what should have been the start of a promising future into a fight for survival.

​Enter Jordan Hale, a newly graduated police officer assigned to protect Ava. Disciplined, observant, and determined to do his job, Jordan quickly discovers that protecting Ava won't be easy. She's fiercely independent and unwilling to let anyone control her life. As danger continues to follow her, however, the two begin to develop a bond neither expected.​

When attacks on Ava's research reveal a trail of corporate interests, hidden financial connections, and betrayal from someone she once trusted, the stakes become more dangerous than ever.​

With her invention, future, and life at risk, Ava must find the courage to face the truth. Jordan must stand beside her through a threat that reaches far beyond what either of them imagined.

​Can two guarded hearts learn to trust each other when everything around them is falling apart?​

Guarded Hearts by Kyle West is an engaging story of romantic suspense, scientific intrigue, corporate conspiracy, courage, loyalty, and the power of trust.
