San Diego Heat: When the Mission Gets Personal (Agents of Ice Book 2)

An HSI agent who hits like a hammer. An NCIS operative who never backs down. One border city about to explode.
Evan “Hammer” Thoreson earned his name breaching doors in Afghanistan and kicking them down on American soil. As an HSI special agent in San Diego, he runs tunnel raids, dismantles cartel networks, and puts traffickers in cages. He’s the guy they call when the operation needs to go loud.
The job is brutal. Fentanyl flooding the streets. Trafficked girls pulled from tunnels beneath the border. Sicarios who’d rather die than surrender. And a media machine that calls him the villain for doing what no one else will.
Then NCIS sends Lena Reyes.
A former Navy corpsman turned federal agent, Lena is sharp, fearless, and refuses to follow anyone’s orders—including Evan’s. When a dead sailor links the cartels to Naval Base Point Loma, their cases collide. So do they.
As the Sinaloa cartel retaliates and a ruthless new boss called El Tiburón escalates the war, Evan and Lena are caught between a ferry chase across San Diego Bay, a Coronado hotel siege, and Operation Riptide—a multi-agency strike that will either crush the cartel or get them both killed.
The heat in San Diego isn’t just the weather.
Some borders can’t be crossed. Some lines must.
