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.
Sometimes love isn’t beautiful...
Meet Max & Courtney is this southern mafia
romance!
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.

spinoff from the Sniper 1 Security series. It has been set up to be read
