introduction

She's the squad's newest detective - bold, driven, and ready to prove herself. Elena Guevara knows how to handle herself, coming from Vice where she led undercover operations and took down criminal networks. But SVU is a whole new world, and it doesn't help that her new partner, Detective Joe Velasco, doesn't think she'll last.

Navigating the city's darkest cases while trying to earn her place on the team isn't easy, and Velasco's rough, guarded demeanor doesn't make it any better. But Elena's not one to back down from a challenge - not when lives are at stake. She'll take on the worst the city has to offer, even if it means facing parts of herself she'd rather keep buried.
