Blurb
Sometimes love isn’t
beautiful...
Sometimes the only
way to describe it is beautifully brutal.
If you think you
know him… You’re wrong.
If you think you
know his family… Wrong again.
If you think you
know his story… You don’t.
If you did, you’d
likely wonder how the hell a man like Maximillian Adorite managed to
make it to this point in his life. At twenty-nine, he’s experienced
more than most people could only ever imagine, all thanksto his
family. Organized crime they call it. Mafia.
No matter how they
spin it, it comes down to one thing. Max gets what he wants. Except
for the one thing he wants most.
Her name is Courtney
Kogan.
And now that he’s
had a taste of her, Max knows he’ll never be able to let her go.
The Southern Boy
Mafia series is a spinoff from the Sniper 1 Security series. It has
been set up to be read without reading Sniper 1 Security, however,
the characters will frequently cross over.
Excerpt
#1
Twenty
months ago.
Courtney
tried to pull away from Max, her heart pounding against her chest.
Max was going to kill Weston, He was going to kill him and it was all
her fault...
At that point, she’d been with Max for several months, getting
deeper and deeper into a relationship with him, but never had she
actually gotten any information to take back to her father. Nothing
that would take Max down, nothing concrete enough to do any damage to
the Southern Boy Mafia and she felt as though she was running out of
time.
So,
she befriended Weston, pretended to like him until she convinced him
that she wanted him. And then, she’d gotten his phone number,
called him and invited him to meet with her.
He
had.
But
the young man hadn’t given up any information that would have hurt
Max.
“What’d
she offer you?” Max asked Weston.
Weston’s head
shifted, his right eye opened ever so slightly, his gaze meeting
hers. She could hardly make out the color of his iris because the lid
was so swollen and purple from the bruises that marred his once
handsome face.
“Did
she offer her pussy?” Max asked, his tone lethal. “Is that what
she offered you?”
“God, no!”
Courtney screamed.
She
hadn’t offered him anything. She’d merely tried to talk to him.
Sure, the flirting might’ve eluded to more, but she’d never
intended to do anything with him. She wasn’t a whore.
“He
didn’t…” she uttered, her throat closing around her words. “He
didn’t betray you.”
“No?
He met with you in the park, sat with you for two fucking hours and
talked. What’d you talk about? The goddamn weather? If he didn’t
betray me, what did he do, Courtney? Confess his undying love? Ask
you to run away with him? What?”
“I
betrayed you.” Weston said through swollen lips. “I shouldn’t
have talked to her.”
“He
didn’t!” Courtney yelled. “He didn’t tell me anything.”
“But
you tried, didn’t you?” Max yelled at her directly. “You tried
to get him to talk.”
Courtney’s
gaze dropped to the floor as she nodded. She’d tried, but Weston
had revealed very little. Not even enough to take back to her father.
“Anything
you have to say to me, Weston?” Max asked.
Lifting
her gaze to the broken and battered man in front of her, she wanted
to plead for Max to let him go, but she knew better. He was going to
die. This was what happened in Max’s world. This soulless man was
the leader of the Southern Boy Mafia, the ruler of the dark and dirty
underworld that she found herself living in.
He was the
man she’d fallen for. And she hated that, hated that she’d
betrayed herself. Even now, even knowing what was going to happen,
she couldn’t deny her feelings for Max. He was doing what had to be
done. He weeded out the weak links in his organization in order to
move forward. It made sense even if she hated it.
Sometimes
love isn’t beautiful...
