Deadly Cabal
Summary
Jake and Sirena are currently hiding out in Kotor, Montenegro, when their billionaire benefactor hires them to look into corruption surrounding this normally sedate seaside country on the Adriatic. Car bombings and gang shootings have become commonplace and extremely disturbing for the government of Montenegro. For some reason, the Montenegrin police and intelligence community can’t seem to get a handle on the violence. So far, most of the deaths have involved rival gang killings. But the tourist trade, a significant percentage of the economy, could take a huge hit if the violence continues. Jake doesn’t have to look too hard to discover the problem, but he’s not sure how much he can impact the outcome. Together, they discover a conspiracy that could lead to the highest levels of government. And the problem seems to be spread all across the Balkan region along the Adriatic coast. Can Jake and Sirena survive the deadly cabal? Or, will this be their last mission? Praise for the book/author: “A damned good writer.” (David Hagberg, New York Times best-selling author) “I enjoyed it very much...akin to Ludlum and Higgins...your background and writing skill should make this one a slam dunk...” (Dale Brown, New York Times best-selling author) “Nonstop action and intrigue from the first page! Get this book and enjoy the thrill ride!” (Scott McEwen, number one New York Times best-selling coauthor of American Sniper on Cyber Shot) “Watch out Jason Bourne, you had met your match with Jake Adams!” (Suspense Magazine) “Not as technical and certainly shorter than Tom Clancy’s books but can be read in lieu of them.” (Library Journal) “Trevor Scott never fails to please.” (Midwest Book Review) “Author Trevor Scott takes us on a thrill ride full of spycraft, geo-political espionage, advanced weaponry, treason, and a man’s fine appreciation for the female body, even when its owner is a stone killer.” (Jules Brenner, Mystery Scene Magazine) “While the story is almost too close to reality...kudos to Scott for a job well done and expectations of more to come.” (AudioFile)

Mr. Popular
Summary
Rule #1: Do not vote for Mr. Popular. Rule #2: Do not talk to Mr. Popular. Rule #3: (Most importantly, and above all) Do not fall for Mr. Popular.... Liam "Mr. Popular" Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me. Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get. It wasn't always this way, though.... Several summers ago, we both attended the same summer camp. A place we returned to year after year. We became friends - close friends, but right when I thought he could possibly turn into my everything, he made it clear that what we had was nothing. Now that's he's a senior, and I only have to deal with him for one more year, I've vowed to keep repeating the same set of rules to myself. Especially since he seems so hell-bent on wanting to talk to me for some reason, and especially since he seems to be staring at me every time we're in the same room together.... Rule #4: Always follow rules #1-3.... Rule #5: (OMG what the hell are you doing?) Do not kiss Mr. Popular....
