Maximus
by Riley Edwards
2020
Nicknamed for his larger-than-life presence, Maximus is used to being the blunt instrument Z Corps unleashes when things go bad. A mission that starts as a straightforward takedown turns complicated when he grows attached to a target’s resilient ally and discovers some lines he will not cross.
Declan
by Riley Edwards
2020
Declan has always been the charming one on Gold Team, the man who laughs in the face of danger. When an assignment in Susan Stoker’s shared world forces him to guard someone whose future depends on his focus, he learns what it costs to finally take life—and love—seriously.
Thaddeus
by Riley Edwards
2019
Thaddeus is a hardened operator whose job is to plan for every worst-case scenario. He never expects that the real variable will be the person he is protecting—a fiercely independent soul whose stubborn courage pulls him into a fight that feels far more personal than professional.
Kyle
by Riley Edwards
2019
Gold Team member Kyle prides himself on staying cool under fire, but the latest op hits too close to home when it puts someone he cares about in a ruthless villain’s crosshairs. To save them, he must confront the ghosts he has been outrunning for years.
Brooks
by Riley Edwards
2019
As part of Z Corps’ Gold Team, Brooks is used to dangerous assignments, not emotional entanglements. When a mission strands him with someone whose life is being slowly squeezed by a ruthless enemy, he finds himself willing to risk his career and his heart to keep them safe.
Series background & context
Gold Team continues the Z Corps saga that began with Red Team, following a new group of elite operators who take on the missions too messy or politically sensitive for anyone else. While Red Team introduced Zane Lewis and his inner circle, Gold Team gives his men their own spotlight as they juggle covert work, unfinished business, and unexpected love.
Each book focuses on a different operator—Brooks, Thaddeus, Kyle, Maximus, and Declan—who brings a distinct history and skill set to the unit. Some are former SEALs, others come from different branches of special operations, but all are used to being the sharp end of the spear. Their work ranges from hostage extractions and cartel takedowns to protecting high‑value targets who do not always want to be guarded.
The women who cross their paths are rarely passive. They are ranchers fighting off land grabs, professionals entangled in criminal schemes, or long‑time friends who have seen the worst these men can be and love them anyway. As with the rest of the Z Corps universe, the romances unfold against a backdrop of conspiracies, corrupt officials, and enemies who are just as skilled as the heroes.
Gold Team stories interlock loosely with Red and Blue Team books. Operations overlap, villains resurface, and Zane himself often appears when a situation threatens the larger organization. Yet each novel is written to stand alone, delivering a full arc and a satisfying resolution.
Expect edge‑of‑your‑seat action, sharp banter between teammates, and a focus on redemption as battle‑hardened heroes learn how to build something lasting off the battlefield.
