Unidentified (Treasure Hunter Security Book 7)

I love how we get the story behind the Ward family who own and run Treasure Hunter Security. It's a great book that explains the Emerald Tear in Ecuador found by Oliver Ward and Persephone who has a map that leads from his dig to the statue with the Emerald Tear. Then you move on to the find of the Emerald Butterfly in Florida aboard the sterncastle of infamous Nuestra Senora de Atocha not found by Mel Fisher. Both are exciting action packed treasure hunting stories that Anna Hackett does best. I highly recommend this book.There's a snippet at the end about Darcy Ward and Agent Burke with their quest to find Silk Roads The Collector.

Great short stories to warm up to finally. Can’t wait to get on Darcy’s story. I’m amazed how author kept sliding bits in every book of the series and now the big reveal!!

I read this as part of my Kindle Unlimited membership.Loved reading the story of the couple who started everything.Loved Diego, I was hoping we'd get his HEA

I don’t normally like short stories, there never seems to be enough time for both the action and the emotional journey of a romance, but in this book that was definitely not the case, perfect combination of both. Loved it.

Two novellas in one book! Two Inca emeralds to be found.The Emerald Tear: the first of the novellas is the story of how Dec, Cal and Darcy's parents met! Dr Oliver Ward was leading a dig for his university in Ecuador when he met Persephone Blake. He knew she was special when she came in with her gun blasting as bandits attacked the dig. From that point on it's action and romance all the way. Persephone is on the trail of an Aztec emerald which she hopes will help towards her retirement fund. But, Silk Road operatives are in contention even then and Oliver isn't going to let her face them by herself.The Emerald Butterfly: DEA agent, Sloane McBride's, grandfather is dying. He is an old colleague of Oliver Ward and has always wanted to find the Emerald Butterfly. This is another Incan treasure that was lost when the Spanish ship, the Nuestra Senora De Atocha was lost in a hurricane off the Miami coast. Sloan has developed a computer program that she is certain has isolated the site where the Atocha went down. Darcy Ward is a close friend and she recommends that Sloan contact Diego Torres for help.Diego is an ex SEAL and friend to the THS guys. He owns a research and salvage vessel called the Storm Witch and has all the equipment necessary for an underwater search. Unfortunately his crew are all in vacation, as he is supposed to be but Darcy calls in a favour on behalf of Sloan. He realises too late that she is the SEA agent who handcuffed him when she thought he was obstructing her search for drugs on a recent case.Under the circumstances they decide to put the past in the past and go search for the missing emerald.Once again, Silk Road is on their trail with intention of killing them if necessary.Both novellas have their fair share of romance and action and are a pleasure to read!
