A Million Tomorrows

A love story for all times: past, present, and future.

“So, it’s not exactly time travel…” Lucian said. And it wasn’t…exactly.

But Lucian Phanes’ revolutionary research might just be Dr. Perry Roberts’ only hope to repair his haunting past and build an actual future.

There is something special about Beverly Bowen that Dr. Roberts can’t verbalize, or even understand. Yet, he feels an almost supernatural pull toward her, and the feeling is mutual. The budding romance raises eyebrows even among Perry’s closest friends. How can he envision a future with Beverly when her life hangs by a thread?

Yet, as Lucian’s top-secret research begins to blur the lines between past, present, and future, hope—as scarce and fragile as it might be—begins to bubble under the surface.

Follow Dr. Perry Roberts and Beverly Bowen as they race against the unrelenting persistence of time.
