And its original owners would go to any lengths to take it back.

    Baron, Melissa

    Abstract

    Isla has fled the city for small-town Missouri in the wake of a painful and exhausting year. With her chronic anxiety at a fever pitch, the last thing she expects is to meet a genuine romantic prospect. And she doesn't, but she does get a text from a man who seems to think he's her husband. Obviously, a wrong number--except, when she points this out, the mystery texter sends back a picture of them, on their wedding day. Isla cautiously starts up a texting relationship with her maybe-hoax, maybe-husband Ewan, who claims to be reaching out from a few years into the future.
