Mercenaries on a mission to find a secret stash of knowledge? With elements of sci-fi and steamy romance? All these things are extremely my shit. Things get more complicated when someone from Nina’s past surfaces. Not to mention, the sizzling connection between Nina and Knox. Somehow on their road trip, the two teams grow close. If Knox and his team cross her, she plans to simply take them out. She is suspicious but would love to claim those spoils before anyone else does. Avoiding a direct attack, they tempt Nina with a map to a fabled cache of pre-apocalypse treasures. Piece of cake for enhanced soldiers, right? Turns out Nina is faster than anyone they’ve ever battled before. They reluctantly make this proverbial deal with the devil to save their friend and themselves. Despite being super-soldiers, they prefer to only kill those who deserve it and help civilians when they can.

Thus, in exchange for Luna, Knox’s team must capture Nina. She is the only one who can fix the chip slowly killing them. They get into a bind when their hacker/scientist friend named Luna is kidnapped. Knox and his unit, the Silver Devils, are on the run from the said tech giant.

Besides the nightmares, things are good for Nina. They make sure no one goes hungry and are always on the lookout for new information. They take mercenary delivery jobs and put their tech knowledge to good use for the neighborhood. Maya has an enhanced photographic memory with the tech database in her brain. Dani can’t feel pain and is deadly with a knife. She lives by her own rules in the Atlanta outskirts with her two best friends, Maya and Dani. We meet Nina long after she escaped her childhood horrors. And yet she came out with a heart of gold. Nina is special and was trained from birth to kill. Using bio-engineering, they recruit and mold super-soldiers to do their bidding. They could burn down the world, destroying each other in the process… Or they could do the impossible: team-up.Ī tech corporation runs this fictional world with an iron fist. They’re on a deadly collision course and the passion that flares between them only makes it more dangerous. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive. Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. Nina is an information broker with a mission–she and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to save the hopeless in a crumbling America.

When I read the premise for Kit Rocha’s Deal with the Devil, I immediately knew I would love it.
