Narrative:

This event happened at santa flight engineer, NM, airport. I ws the captain of the plane. My first officer asked for a taxi clearance and we were cleared to taxi and hold short of runway 15 from the terminal at the same time we were issued the clearance back to our destination (den). I began the taxi to runway 15 and asked for the pretkof checklist which was completed before we got to the hold short line. I unfortunately crossed the hold short line up to probably the main landing gear and maybe more. My first officer, who also was a qualified captain but flying the right seat that day, told me to stop and at the same time stepped on the brakes. He immediately took the initiative to tell ground control that we had crossed the hold short line, apologized and asked what the controller wanted us to do. There was a single engine aircraft on about a 3 or 4 mi final so the controller instructed that aircraft to go around because we had crossed the hold short line. The go around was executed by that pilot. My first officer again apologized, the controller did not say anything. We were told to taxi into position and hold and shortly after cleared for takeoff runway 15. I had in my mind understood to taxi into position and hold runway 15 when we were instructed from the terminal. It was entirely my mistake that led to this embarrassing situation that could have easily turned into a disaster. I was fortunate to be flying with my partner who took immediate action and stepped on the brakes. I couldn't stop thanking him for it.
