A Gay Hockey Time Travel Romance
Timeless
Dylan Mercer is a rising star in professional hockey, adored by fans and unmatched on the ice. Yet, beneath the dizzying momentum of his young career lies a truth Dylan fears could derail everything: he's gay in a world where he fears coming out could mean the end of his career.
After a tough game, Dylan’s discovery of a pair of vintage skates in an old locker unexpectedly sends him spiraling back in time to 1980. Bewildered by his arrival, he meets Nico Santoro, a low-level minor league player who quickly becomes more than a friend.
Soon, Dylan and Nico form a bond that transcends decades. From hilarious adventures learning to cross-country ski to finding themselves at a home in a 1980 New York City disco and witnessing the US hockey team's Lake Placid Olympic victory.
What neither of them understand is the mechanism for Dylan's trip through time and what might cause him to be sent back to his future. Ultimately, Dylan is faced with an impossible choice: his career as a rising hockey star or a chance to change the game's history by remaining by Nico's side.
“I wasn't sure about this book when I first started a time traveling hockey romance. I had to see how this would play out and I'm glad I did. This was enjoyable for me and reminded me of so many moments from the eighties that I remember so clearly. This brought me a huge amount of joy.”

“This is a great book! It's intelligent, partly historical, well researched, well thought out, romantic, medium steam, and highly satisfying and enjoyable. It begins angsty, but soon, it morphs into something beautiful.
The characters are all awesome and the imagery is amazing. Declan Rhodes didn't skimp on the details, and kept enough of it to make the story flow seamlessly.”
