Made: A Bad Boy Romance (Bad Boy Games) by Danielle Slater, Allegra Ryan

her dark hair, big eyes, and an ass that won’t quit. Probably why Samantha chose that stupid fake name— Deja Booty.
    They’re both crazy in their unique ways.
    Crazy and hot, although it makes me slightly nauseous now to think that the sister came on to me. Thank God I followed the rules for once and kept my hands to myself. Talk about a complication I don’t need.
    Last night, everything about Brooke screamed fuck me . Now that we’re both stuck in Ferrara’s game, that isn’t going to change. The craving for her is going to drive me up a wall. If I have to spend every waking (and probably every sleeping) minute with her (and I do), I’m going to have a hard-on the whole time. What I want to know is how the fuck am I going to be able to think straight when all I want is to sink into her sweet heat again.
    Since we’re both players, I’ve got to get it together. She’s counting on me. I’m going to have to help her with the rules and strategy and shit, assuming I figure out what Ferrara has hidden up his custom-tailored sleeve. When Ferrara arrived in the city, Brooke and I were already going at it. I’d never met her before. Our hookup was a random thing, so there’s no way Ferrara could know about us. . .
    Unless he has spies inside Dominion as well as inside Harley & Sweet. Could he? Unless I have cold, hard proof, I don’t want to take it there.
    Watching Ferrara when we were all up in the Eye with Brooke and Samantha, I had this feeling that he was playing de Hainault like a fiddle. He wanted the Frenchman out of the game. Not only that, Ferrara wanted me to step in for de Hainault, but only as long as de Hainault thought it was his idea.
    Games within games.
    Again, was it chance that Ferrara and de Hainault arrived at the same time? That’s too much coincidence to be believed. It’s against about ten H&S rules for opposing players to be in the house at the same time, so no wonder Tucker was pissed. H&S can’t afford to take sides; it would kill their business model.
    That’s all good and well, but it doesn’t get me anywhere. I don’t know what angle Tucker’s playing or how he’s involved or even if he’s involved. I could sit here all night trying to tease a theory out of what’s happened so far and still, Ferrara would be two steps ahead.
    Brooke is in this up to her beautiful chin, too. That shit Tucker tried to pull, acting like he was ordering me to kill her little sister was total theatrics, but it worked. The ruse shifted de Hainault’s thinking and made him believe he was showing himself as the bigger man by shaming Tucker for suggesting murder. Which makes me think Tucker and Ferrara are working together against de Hainault.
    But where’s the angle that makes it worthwhile for Tucker? I can’t see it.
    When it comes to the games, the only constant is that the house never takes sides and never loses. For that reason, if not any other, it’s unthinkable that Tucker might have thrown in with Ferrara against de Hainault. If that’s what Tucker has done, however, and the news spreads among other players, H&S will be destroyed. Not even the power and reach of the De Luca syndicate will be able to save them. No one cheats or embarrasses the one-percent of the one-percent and lives to tell the story.
    All this thinking gets me exactly nowhere because I’m playing for M. de Hainault. I win; he wins. If I lose, I’ll be at Alexander Ferrara’s mercy.
    Something cold and hard forms in my gut.
    That theory would make sense if Ferrara learned I was trying to take him out five years ago. If he knew about me back then, why wait to act until now? It’s not like he couldn’t have hired another hitman to remove me as a threat. Because Ferrara is nothing if not strategic, I have to conclude that he hadn’t targeted me before because it didn’t fit in with any of his other schemes.
    I’m useful to him now, and I need to find out why.
    I sling my duffle over my shoulder and head out of the
