Echoes of Us

He's the storm. She's the spark. Together, they're fire waiting to catch.

FBI profiler Isabella Vega has seen monsters up close, but nothing prepared her for working alongside Manhattan's sharpest-and most insufferable-ADA, Rafael Barba. He's arrogant, cold, and way too smug for his own good. She's bright, stubborn, and refuses to let him have the last word.

From the moment she's assigned to SVU, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Every case throws them together, every argument cuts deeper, and every stolen glance burns hotter than either of them will admit.

Enemies? Definitely.
Partners? Reluctantly.
Something more? They'd rather die than say it out loud.

But in a world where justice is fragile and secrets are deadly, Rafael and Isabella are about to learn the hardest truth: sometimes the person you swear you can't stand... is the one you can't let go.
