Deal with the Devil
Orphan Black meets the post-apocalyptic Avengers in the vein of Ilona Andrews’ Hidden Legacy series by USA Today and New York Times bestselling author duo Kit Rocha
The United States went belly up 45 years ago when our power grid was wiped out. Too few live in well-protected isolation while the rest of us scrape by on the margins. The only thing that matters is survival. By any means. At any cost.
Nina is an information broker with a mission: to bring hope to the darkest corners of Atlanta. She and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to help those in need. But altruism doesn’t pay the bills ― raiding vaults and collecting sensitive data is where the real money is.
Knox is a bitter, battle-weary supersoldier who leads the Silver Devils, an elite strike squad that chose to go AWOL rather than slaughter innocents. Before the Devils leave town for good, they need a biochem hacker to stabilize the experimental implants that grant their superhuman abilities.
The problem? Their hacker’s been kidnapped. And the ransom for her return is Nina. Knox has the perfect bait for a perfect trap: a lost Library of Congress server. The data could set Nina and her team up for years...
If they live that long.

Kit Rocha
In the gritty corners of speculative romance, where passion and power collide in crumbling worlds, Kit Rocha stands out as a writing duo unafraid to blend heat with heart and revolution with intimacy. Known for the Beyond series and Mercenary Librarians, Bree Bridges and Donna Herren have built a reputation for stories that don’t just entertain—they challenge, provoke, and seduce.
Their partnership began long before their books found a global readership. Friends first, they shared a love for fandom, politics, and character-driven storytelling. When traditional publishing couldn’t quite hold the intensity of their vision—queer-inclusive, sex-positive, and fiercely feminist—they carved their own path through self-publishing. The Beyond series, set in a post-apocalyptic society ruled by pleasure and power, quickly became a cult favorite.
Mercenary Librarians
Mercenary Librarians consists of three books and considered as a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
