Once Upon an Eclipse: A Time Travel Historical Romance
A haunting time travel romance that will break your heart.
Mateo captures the world the way it should be remembered—through a camera lens, frozen in light and shadow. In 1955, his life is idyllic, purposeful and anchored by a poet and museum curator who believes history survives because someone chooses to protect it.
Then time betrays him.
Mateo is thrown into 1965, a decade louder, faster, and dangerously indifferent to his existence. Worse than the displacement is the time begins to cancel his memories. Slowly at first. Then violently. Faces blur. Emotions dull. And Julia, the woman he loves, starts to vanish from his mind.
Julia preserves artifacts for a living. Mateo is becoming one.
As memory fractures and the future tightens its grip, Mateo must find a way back to 1955 before forgetting Julia entirely. Art becomes his weapon. Desire his anchor. Love his final rebellion. Because if time succeeds in erasing her, it will erase the reason he ever existed at all.
A sweeping historical romance infused with time travel, obsession, and the terror of forgetting, this novel explores how love endures—even when memory does not.
A haunting, sensual historical romance where love is physical, memory is fragile, and time is unbearably intimate.
Perfect for readers of lyrical historical fiction, tragic romance, and time-bending love stories.
