Evergreens: A dystopian love story and the quest for immortality

*Winner of The Contemporary Romantic Novel Award, 2024*

What if you never had to grow old?

When Ben signs up for the Evergreens project—a radical trial promising eternal youth—he’s convinced more time is all he needs to catch up to a world stacked against him. Sophie, the woman he loves, isn’t so sure.

Decades later, Sophie sits by Ben’s hospital bed as he ages before her eyes, the truth behind Evergreens unraveling at last. Racing against time, she must uncover the dark secret at its core—and decide what a life well lived truly means.

A gripping dystopian love story of power, privilege, and the fragile beauty of being human, Evergreens is a reminder that it’s never about how much time you have—it’s about how you use it.
