A former Navy SEAL will do anything to keep a beautiful archeologist safe.

Finding undiscovered treasures is always daring, dangerous, and deadly. Perfect for the men of Treasure Hunter Security. Former Navy SEAL Declan Ward is haunted by the demons of his past and throws everything he has into his security business—Treasure Hunter Security.

Dangerous archeological digs – no problem. Daring expeditions – sure thing. Museum security for invaluable exhibits – easy. But on a simple dig in the Egyptian desert, Declan collides with a stubborn, smart archeologist, Dr. Layne Rush. Together, they get swept into a deadly treasure hunt for a mythical lost oasis, and when a danger from his past reappears, Declan vows to do anything and everything to protect Layne.

Layne is dedicated to building a successful career—a promise to the parents she lost far too young. But when her dig is plagued by strange accidents, targeted by a lethal black market antiquities ring, and artifacts are stolen, she is forced to turn to Treasure Hunter Security, and to the tough, sexy, and too-used-to-giving-orders Declan. Soon her organized dig morphs into a wild treasure hunt across the desert dunes.

Danger is hunting them every step of the way, and Layne and Declan must find a way to work together…to not only find the treasure but to survive.

The characters in this book were interesting. The storyline moved along, but I found it too unrealistic to be believable. I have enjoyed reading other books written by Anna Hackett and thought that I would give this series a chance. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars He does not expect to fall for the beautiful Layne. Anna Hackett usually writes rather short novels ...

This is the first in a new series. Set in present time we meet archeologist Layne Rush as she is attacked on her dig site in Egypt. Valuable items are stolen and Treasure Hunter Security is hired to provide protection and retrieve the items. Declan Ward takes the case as he suspects the culprit is an old enemy. He does not expect to fall for the beautiful Layne.

Anna Hackett usually writes rather short novels and this one is short as well. But it feels like a full story as it is well plotted and the pace is fast. Layne and Declan have great chemistry even if their romance is swift due to the time constraint. The adventure is thrilling. Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider combined as an one hour tv episode.

I always enjoy Anna's stories but they do have a certain formula. I also like the Phoenix Adventures she writes, but they are set in the future. Undiscovered has some interesting secondary characters. Personally I was intrigued by sister Darcy and the FBI Agent but the next 2 installments (one already published and one slated for a July publication) are about brother Callum and team mate Logan.

Declan is in Egypt on protection and retrieval duty after an old nemesis attacked archaeologist Dr. Layne Rush’s dig site. The ex Navy SEAL has spent the past two years, after leaving the SEALS, building Treasure Hunter Security, protecting archaeologist, artifacts and others involved in museum acquisitions. He’s closed himself off from anything remotely involving love, with the exception of his brother and his team. Of course, as soon as he lays eyes on the beautiful lead archaeologist Layne, his heart may have reason to start beating again. He just has to make sure they both stay alive. Not an easy task with a psychopath hot on their trail.

This is one of my favorite all time series! Anna Hackett combines action, adventure, romance and suspense in this out of this world book. I’m rereading the series in preparation for Unfathomed (THS, book 4) coming out on Tuesday. Can’t wait! I say this every time I review one of Anna Hackett’s books, but seriously, they could all be made into blockbuster action movies. The perfect balance of romance and adventure, they take you on an epic journey that I am always sad to see end.

Declan, gorgeous, brooding, protective, possessive alpha with a heart of gold, even though he keeps it under lock and key. The dialogue is so well written for all the characters, but my favorite was the interactions between Layne and Declan. Witty and intelligent, they were perfect for each other. Like Declan, Layne had spent her entire life keeping her heart detached from getting to close to anyone after losing her parents. They both just needed someone to burst through their well construction barriers.

Another great part of AH books are the supporting characters. They are all so intriguing you can’t help but want a book for each one of them. And for the most part, you get one.

All in all, the book is a phenomenal start to an excellent series! A definite must read!

HEA, duel POV, no cheating, no triggers.

Declan and Layne take you on an action-packed, dangerous and suspense filled adventure with harrowing heart stopping moments in this introduction to Treasure Hunter Security. If you love fast-paced romantic suspenses that captivate you as two characters fall deeply and madly and quickly in love, this one is for you. And Stella Bloom does an excellent job bringing the characters to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dec & Layne. WOW!!

Was für ein actiongeladenes, spannendes, geniales Buch!
Dwc und Layne sind absolut authentische, sympathische, selbstständige, selbstbewusste, verantwortungsbewusste und gebildete Protagonisten. Man folgt ihnen nur zu gern auf ihren Abenteuern.
All die Details, mit denen die archäologischen Funde, die Geschichte, die Städte und Mythen beschrieben wurden, haben mich völlig umgehauen - auf positive Weise! Das hat dem gesamten Setting viel Tiefe gegeben. Ich bekam den Eindruck, ich stündd gerade mit Layne in der unterirdischen Grabstätte oder würde mit Dec und Layne endlich die verborgene Stadt Zerzura (?) finden.
Absolut fantastisch!
Auch die Liebesgeschichte, wie diese sich gemächlich entwickelt, hat mich begeistert. Ich mag es nicht, wenn die Protagonisten gleich zusammen ins Bett gehen, sondern erst einmal einander kennenlernen und eine emotionale Beziehung zueinander entwickeln - und eben nicht nur eine physische. Natürlich war hier reichlich Anziehungskraft zwischen Dec und Layne zu spüren, aber sie waren eigentlich schon ineinander verliebt, bevor sie miteinander schliefen, was sich für mich einfach richtig anfühlte.
Das Finden der geheimen Stadt mitten in der Wüste hat gegen Ende noch mal für reichlich Spannung gesorgt und was Dec passierte ... Gott, was hab ich geweint!
Das Happy End war mir persönlich nach diesem Schock etwas zu abrupt, aber insgesamt bin ich so überglücklich, dieses fantastische Buch gelesen zu haben, dass dieser eine Kritikpunkt nicht ins Gewicht fällt.
Ich kann diesen Reihenauftakt nur empfehlen und freue mich auf Band 2.

This book is great! A lot of action, romance, history. This is the story of Layne and Declan, she is a archeologist college professor and he is an ex-Seal who is in charge of the security of her site in Egypt.

I felt like I was into an action movie, it is fast, it is so thrilling and a good ride for readers.

Undiscovered (Treasure Hunter Security Book 1)

Wow! just Wow! This roller-coaster ride through the Egyptian desert has the two main characters fleeing for their lives, following clues across the ancient sands in search of safety and finding so much more. Places so ancient they've long since faded into myth and legend are brought spectacularly to life in this terrific, action packed and sizzling romantic fantasy adventure, the latest spellbinding masterpiece from Anna Hackett, one of my favourite authors. Her terrific storytelling skills are on display front and centre in 'Uniscovered', the first book in Treasure Hunter Security, her fantastic new series set around myths, legends, modern technology, archaeology and treasure hunting, with a feisty heroine and an alpha hero, sizzling chemistry and love as she weaves the story of a legitimate dig in Egypt's Western Desert attacked by a ruthless black market antiquities ring that'll stop at nothing to get what they want, and what they want is something the archaeologists don't believe even existed and certainly haven't found... yet. Enter a team of ex-Navy SEALS, also known as Treasure Hunter Security, brought in by the Rhodes University to provide security for their now compromised dig, and let the magic begin...

Dr Layne Rush is the Archaelogist in charge of a legitimate dig being run by her university on a new tomb that's been discovered in Egypt's Western Desert, and she's excited with their progress so far. All is running smoothly, and they've found some interesting gold artifacts, but apart from speculation amongst members of the team about the location of the lost Oasis of Zerzura that was reputedly also in the Western Desert, there doesn't appear to be a lot that would interest the ruthless gang of thieves that attacked Layne when she was on her own, although they appeared to be looking for something specific. Under the circumstances, the dig has been declared unsafe and the team has been pulled back to Cairo. Hunting for information among the market vendors and antiquities dealers, Layne becomes distinctly aware of the sensation she's being watched and takes steps to catch the watcher... only it turns out to be Declan Ward, the new head of security for the dig, ex-Navy SEAL and co-owner of Treasure Hunter Security....

Declan Ward quit the navy and the SEALs after a particularly bad operation that still haunts him and left him with a bitter taste in his mouth, wondering what he was fighting for and more importantly, who he was fighting alongside. He started Treasure Hunter Security with his brother Callum after he got out of the Teams too, and their techno-geek sister Darcy, and they have a small but dangerous team of ex-SEALs working for them. The Wards all have a good grounding for their new enterprise with a History Professor father and a world renowned Treasure Hunter mother and they are the best there is at what they do, so it was a little embarrassing, to say the least, when the woman in charge of the dig got the drop on him and .... Oh boy!.....is he in trouble.

I'm not going to give spoilers, but Treasure Hunter Security is a bit different to the other series I've read by this author with their alien invasions and archaeologists in space. This series is set on Earth in the here and now, and 'Undiscovered' is a fantastic mix of archaeology and ancient myths come to life action adventure.... Think 'Jack Hunter', then add a large dash of 'The Mummy' (Rachel Weisz version), a goodly pinch of 'Relic Hunter', a fair bit of 'Adventure Inc' and just a drop of 'Sahara' for flavour, add a little 'Who Dares Wins' and 'Navy SEALS' into the mix in the form of site security and hunkalicious bodyguards for colour and heat, along with a mystery, some serious sizzle and clues to follow to find the ancient wonder and the treasure that's waiting to be discovered, add some seriously dangerous bad guys in the form of the murderous black market antiquities ring that goes by the name of 'Silk Road' and it's exactly my kind of dish. It had me totally hooked and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and I really didn't want to put it down.

I absolutely love Anna Hackett's books, they're always filled with high-octane action, adventure and sizzling romance. Always well written in the third person for people who like their stories with substance, their heroines strong and feisty, their heroes strong, hunky and protective, not to mention 'drop-dead' gorgeous and for me she's one of the best science fiction/fantasy romance authors around today. She creates fantastic environments, both on Earth and in outer space then populates them with terrific characters, good guys, bad guys and everything in between, contained in stories that are totally gripping edge of the seat thrillers, as well as funny and hot. Her stories are so good they'd hold my attention even without the sizzle, although I do love a good sizzle, and they always come complete with a happily ever after. 'Undiscovered' is another winner and I really can't wait to read the next one. There are no cliff-hangers here and all her books can be read as stand alones.

Adrenaline junkie that I am, I absolutely loved it. I'd like to give it lots more than the 5 stars I'm limited to, and it's definitely a book I'd rescue if the house was burning down. I'm sure I'll be reading it again and again and again and.... you get the picture.
