Bro Code
(2026)(A book in the League of Extraordinarily Gay Gentlemen series)
A novel by Hailey Reaves
One jock. One nerd. Zero chance this ends professionally.
Riley Webb came out as gay at the end of last season: the biggest season of his career. He expected backlash. He didn’t expect it to become the only thing anyone talked about.
Riley just wants to play hockey. But the media is in his head now, and his performance is slipping. When he’s traded to Montreal less than a month into the new season, he finds a whole new problem waiting for him: Louis Debonnes.
Louis spent the last ten years hustling. He left behind a conservative family who couldn’t accept him, and built a career and unapologetically queer identity in Montreal. But the job market is getting tough for a coder. His new position might be the last opportunity he gets: performance analyst for his favorite NHL team.
The player he’s analyzing? Riley Webb. The problem? Riley refuses to admit he needs help. Especially not from some nerd.
Louis isn’t giving up. Riley is determined to keep him out. And somewhere between the grueling practice sessions and late nights scouring the data together, Riley is forced to admit the truth: he needs this nerd. In more ways than one.
But Louis is hiding pain of his own. And if Riley can’t get out of his own way, he may be too hung up on himself to see it.
Failure isn’t an option. The only way to win is to save each other.
Bro Code is a standalone, dual-POV, rivals-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring a gay athlete owning his identity, a family reckoning, explicit open-door scenes, and a satisfying HFN.
Genre: Gay Romance
