Making Time: A Queer Hockey Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990568167)

It's not a meet-cute. It's a meet-chaos.

Nothing about Jamie Sullivan's first season as captain of the Madison Muskies is going according to plan. He's playing terribly, and an impulsive on-ice fight leaves him injured and out of the lineup. It feels like things can't get worse when a drunken scrap with a neighborhood snowman lands him in Tyler's path.

Tyler Raymond is back in Madison with his three year old son, Rowan, doing everything in his power to hold his life together while stuck in disorderly (but affordable) student housing. He has enough on his plate without huge, soft-eyed men knocking themselves unconscious in his yard.

Jamie is desperate to make things right. Realizing Tyler needs a reset, Jamie puts him in touch with his moms, who rent out their attic apartment. What began as a rock-bottom moment quickly changes as Jamie gets to know the prickly single dad and his adorable son, and soon enough it feels natural to include them in his life on and off the ice.

Neither of them have time for romance: Jamie is trying to return to the lineup and redeem himself, while Tyler is trying to make ends meet as a single parent. But there's something undeniable there, and with every second the two men spend together, their reasons for why a relationship won't work start to disappear.

Maybe, for each other, they can make time.
