You, Again by Lane Hayes
The Elmwood Stories, Book 1
The hometown hockey hero and his best friend’s brother…
Vinnie
Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself.
So I’m going home to Elmwood.
But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.
That may be old news, yet something tells me we’re going to have to deal with the past.
And that’s almost as scary as coaching teens.
Nolan
No, I don’t hate Vinnie, but he drives me nuts.
He’s cocky, goofy, selfish, and yeah…after all these years, I’m still attracted to him. But I’m a responsible adult now. I run my family’s business, and with the help of my ex, I’ve made Elmwood Diner into a New England institution.
So maybe my life isn’t particularly exciting at the moment, and maybe Vinnie isn’t the worst. Nonetheless, I have no desire to rekindle a friendship with the hockey hero who no doubt will be on the first flight out of town the second he gets bored or gets a better offer.
And I’m not coaching with him. No way.
Ugh…
I can’t believe I’m doing this again.
You, Again is an MM bisexual, best friend’s brother, frenemies to lovers romance featuring old friends, a new quest, and a little hockey HEA!

Funny enough, this wasn’t a nonstop sexathon. We talked a lot too. Hockey, baseball, music, places we’d traveled, items on our bucket lists…
“I’ve never been to the Grand Canyon,” I said around a bite of turkey sandwich and squinted at the glare off the water. “Or Paris. Those are both on my list.”
“Dude. You need to stop what you’re doing, hop a plane to Arizona, rent a car, and get your ass to the Grand Canyon ASAP. It will blow your fuckin’ mind.” He opened his fist next to his temple and reached for the bag of chips on the blanket he’d spread on the dock between us. “And Paris just has to be experienced. You gotta go…like now.”
I chuckled. “I can’t go anywhere right now.”
“Sure, you can. I’ll take you.”
I kicked his shin as I straightened my leg in front of me. I should have been on my way to the diner by now, but basking in the sun with a shirtless hunk after being in the rink for a few hours had been too tempting to pass up. And so was the sex. We’d tumbled into his living room, fumbling with our clothes in between dirty kisses. After a weak attempt to climb the stairs, we’d fallen onto the sectional, where he’d tongued my hole and fucked me into the cushions.
We’d napped, showered, made sandwiches, and headed to the dock for an impromptu picnic.
I could be a little late today.
“I’m not going to Paris with you, weirdo.”
“Why not?”
“First of all, unlike you, I’m not retired and I can’t take off whenever I want. Second, how would I explain a romantic vacation with you?”
Vinnie’s mouth curled into a devilish lopsided grin. His sunglasses shaded his eyes from view, but I knew they were crinkled at the corners in amusement.
“Romantic, huh?”
“Fuck you. You know what I mean. I associate Paris with romance and…not clandestine booty calls,” I huffed.
“Fair.”
