Synopsis (Goodreads):
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 woman and sucked into a wild and dangerous treasure hunt for a lost Incan emerald.

Daughter of a con artist, Persephone Blake trusts no one and has a plan—find and sell artifacts until she can retire on a white-sand beach. But her plans are derailed when a handsome, smart, and stubborn archeologist pushes his way onto her hunt. She finds herself irresistibly tempted by Oliver, and as they trek deeper into the jungle, danger follows. And Persephone isn’t sure what is in more danger—her body or her heart.

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.

Injured and tortured on a mission, Diego Torres was ready to leave the SEALs and loves being captain of his salvage ship, the Storm Nymph. As he begins his vacation, he planned for solitude, late mornings, and drinking beers while watching the Florida sunsets, what he didn’t plan for was the gorgeous DEA agent who boarded his ship several months before. And he really didn’t plan for an underwater expedition in search of a shipwreck and a priceless Incan emerald.

Sloan McBride’s grandfather dreamed of finding the Emerald Butterfly his entire life. Now he’s dying and she vows to find it for him…even if she has to work with the hard-bodied ex-SEAL she got off to a very wrong start with. But as Sloan and Diego work side by side, dogged by dangerous black-market thieves Silk Road, they uncover a scorching hot passion. They will do anything to protect each other, including calling in their friends from Treasure Hunter Security, and they’ll risk everything to beat Silk Road to the emerald.
Thoughts on Unidentified: THS is gearing up to bring down Silk Road and...well, there are a few things that still need to fall into place before that can happen.

In The Emerald Tear, we get to see Mama and Papa Ward meet, fall in love, and thwart some bad guys. Honestly, it's a little more complicated than that (because Persephone FIGHTS feeling any emotions for Oliver something fierce) and the thwarting came with substantial danger attached to it. Which is pretty much how their kids do things, come to think of it, so it's par for the course when it comes to romance and artifact gathering on this one.

(BUT SERIOUSLY, Persephone and Oliver are pretty dang steamy and they made some OUTSTANDING kids, so I was really loving this story.)

In The Emerald Butterfly, Sloan's grandfather was on the dig where Oliver and Persephone found the Tear and he's been searching for its other half ever since. Sloan teams up with an sexy ex-SEAL she butted heads with in the past to find it and bring some closure to his search. It all sounds fine and dandy, but both Sloan and Diego are pretty distracted by the sparks they generate around one another which makes for an interesting trip.

Plus, you know, there's the danger and bad guys that go hand in hand with treasure hunting. That made it interesting, too.

ANYWHO. I'm loving digging into these novellas and seeing Silk Road get what's coming for them. *thumbs up*
