Road Rules
Brigham Vaughn
Rules of the Game By Brigham Vaughn #1
NHL team captain Zane breaks every rule when one night with his best friend and teammate changes everything.
Description
Rule #1: Hockey Comes First As NHL team captain, Zane Murphy’s goal for the upcoming season is simple: take the Evanston River Otters all the way to the Stanley Cup. Rule #2: Only On the Road But an unexpectedly hot night with his best friend and teammate Ryan Hartinger throws Zane’s carefully laid plans and his sexuality into disarray. Rule #3: Don’t Fall in Love with Your Best Friend When feelings begin to creep in, Zane will have to decide if he’s willing to throw out the rules and risk his career and his friendship for a chance at winning it all. Note: Road Rules was previously published as a 45k word novella on Prolific Works and has since been expanded into a full length 87k word novel. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Homophobic and gendered slurs. Mentions of cheating (not between MCs).
