Unidentified (Treasure Hunter Security Book 7) Kindle Edition
Finding undiscovered treasures is always daring, dangerous, and deadly in these action-packed novellas starring sexy archeologists, feisty treasure hunters, and tough former Navy SEALs on the hunt for two priceless Incan emeralds.
The Emerald Tear: ambitious archeologist Oliver Ward leads a dig in the wild jungles of Ecuador and collides with feisty, independent treasure hunter Persephone.
Oliver Ward loves getting his boots dirty on fascinating digs, and investigating strange ruins in Ecuador is no exception. When bandits threaten his team, a small, tough treasure hunter bursts into his world to save the day. He finds himself captivated by the bright, vibrant Persephone Blake. Pulled into a wild and dangerous treasure hunt for a lost Incan emerald, the two of them are drawn to each other. And they discover it isn’t just treasure on the line, but their hearts as well.
The Emerald Butterfly: former Navy SEAL Diego Torres finds himself helping the one woman who drives him crazy—the DEA agent who boarded his ship and handcuffed him.
After a bad mission ended his career as a SEAL, Diego Torres found a new love captaining his salvage ship, the Storm Nymph. As he begins his vacation, he’s expecting solitude and Florida sunsets, not the arrival of the gorgeous DEA agent who boarded his ship several months before. And he really wasn’t expecting an underwater expedition in search of a shipwreck holding a priceless Incan emerald. Agent Sloan McBride’s has promised her dying grandfather that she’ll find the Emerald Butterfly, and she needs Diego’s help to do it.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is actually two stories in one. It’s how Oliver and Perci met, coming up against the beginning of Silk Roads looking for a giant emerald. The troubles they encountered.
It’s also about searching for the other emerald from the set some 20+ years later. Agent Sloan wants to let her grandfather hold it before he dies. He’s best friends with Oliver and was on the dig when the giant tear emerald was found. But you know it wasn’t that easy.

THE EMERALD TEAR
5 Stars
It's the 1970's and archeologist Oliver Ward is in Ecuador digging up what he believes to be a small village, so he's shocked when armed men raid the dig. Then things get really unexpected when the famous -- or maybe infamous -- treasure hunter Persephone Blake shows up. She's after the legendary Emerald Tear and even though she thinks Oliver is just a pampered professor, she agrees to team up with him. To say these two set off fireworks with each other is an understatement and their chemistry is a big factor in my rating. From the first moment they meet, Oliver and Percy have this delicious tension that kept me turning pages. And that waterfall scene? Oh my!
Of course the action was spectacular as always; Anna Hackett knows her adventure and I felt like I was reading something out of an Indiana Jones movie but a whole lot steamier! It was great to go back in time and see how the predecessors to the Treasure Hunter Security business met and to see an early reference of the evil Silk Road organization. Percy and Oliver have a whirlwind jungle romance and though Percy, who is slow to trust, puts up some resistance she can't stay away from Oliver.
--------------------
THE EMERALD BUTTERFLY
4 Stars
Though the Inca's Emerald Tear was found by Oliver and Percy the companion Emerald Butterfly was lost long ago after being stolen by the Spaniards. DEA agent Sloan McBride is determined to find the Butterfly before her beloved grandfather dies of cancer and to accomplish that she needs the help of Diego Torres. But the last time Sloan and Diego met, she boarded his boat and handcuffed him so she figures he's not going to want to help her. Just like the previous story, we have two characters who butt heads and thrive on tension and attraction. Though I really enjoyed these two together I wanted some more time for them to get to know each other. With all the action and running for their lives, I felt like Diego and Sloan needed just a bit more to fully realize their feelings.
As an added bonus we got a quick peek at Treasure Hunter Security's computer expert, Darcy Ward and Agent Arrogant and Annoying. I've been dying for their story so I loved this quick look and now I can't wait for the next and final installment for THS!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA Treasure Hunter Security duo. This book was simply fabulous. It's broken into 2 smaller stories. The first story is about the Ward parents and how they got together. It was dramatic, angsty, exciting and passionate. Now we know why the kids are so fascinating. The next story was about Diego and Sloan. We met Diego in a previous bookwhen he helped out THS. He's the captain of the ship and she's DEA. On a mission to find a sunken ship and a jewel for her dying grandfather Sloan turns to Diego for help. They have history. Now add some bad guys, hot chemistry and the ocean. This was dramatic, angsty and sexy.

The Emerald Tear: 5 stars
This story is how the Ward parents, Perspherone and Oliver, met and fell in love. Oliver Ward is on an archaeological dig in Ecuador when bandits come and threaten his team. They are rescued by Perspherone Blake, a treasure hunter. Together these two set off to find a lost Incan treasure called the emerald tear.
I loved this story. I am so glad we got the story of how the original Ward’s met and fell in love. It was everything I expected of a treasure hunter and an archaeologist. I wish we could see more of their adventures together, especially after they started having kids.
The Emerald Butterfly: 4 stars
Former Navy SEAL Diego Torres thinks he is finally going to have a nice vacation on his research and salvage vessel, The Storm Nymph. Instead he gets a call from Darcy asking him to help her friend, the gorgeous DEA Agent Sloan McBride, find a lost treasure.
I really enjoyed these two. Sloan is such a badass and I think I have a girl crush on her. She wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted, especially when it comes to Diego. We first meet Diego in Unfathomed when he helps Morgan and Zack locate a lost shipwreck. I was intrigued by him then but he didn’t get much page time and I didn’t expect for him to appear again. Now we have a full story of him kicking Silk Road’s butt again, with a sexy agent at his side.
Overall, I loved this story and really wanted it to be longer just because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anna Hackett at her best!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseTwo 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but packed with action
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI 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.
