The Devil You Know
The Mercenary Librarians and the Silver Devils are back in the next installment of USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Kit Rocha’s post-apocalyptic Action/Romance, with hints of Orphan Black and the Avengers
The Silver Devils and the Librarians are starting to get the hang of working together ― but then a job goes sideways. Instead of the package they expected to retrieve, they find a young girl and discover she is a modified clone... just one of many. Horrified by the implications, the team try to track the missing children, but then Gray, one of the Devils, collapses. His implant is fading, and once rejection starts there's very little hope of a reversal.
Maya, the team’s resident mechanical and programming genius, finds herself torn in multiple directions. She wants to help find the endangered children and track down a threat from the past. And she wants to find an impossible solution to help Gray.
But she also wants to stay as far away from him as she can. Because the more time she spends with him the more she cares about him, and she's already watched one man she loves die because of the TechCorps.

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.
