Synopsis
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
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.
