Sooner or Letter

She’s got mail. From next year.

Nora Thompson usually loves a fresh start. This one? Not so much. Following a layoff and a humiliating heartbreak, she’s moved to Chicago, where she’s sleeping on a sad air mattress in the back room of her grandma’s novelty shop. She hopes to build her photography hobby into a business, but the next chapter is one big question mark… until lightning strikes Nora’s desk on the same day she moves in with three handsome, lovable strangers, and the future is suddenly, literally, at her fingertips.

As surprisingly sweet letters appear in Nora’s desk drawer, she assumes it’s a prank from one of her new roommates: sporty Briggs, closet romantic Sam, or sarcastic Will. They all deny it. But when she replies, her note disappears, and she soon learns Will really is writing to her—from three months into the future. It’s a miracle. Only, grumpy Will has no clue there’s another version of him writing her charming, time-traveling letters. As if Nora’s life wasn’t complicated enough.

When she accidentally alters the future, Nora can’t figure out how to put things back as they were. Change one thing, and she risks shifting another. It’s Fate Whac-A-Mole. Determined to fix the reality she’s broken, Nora has to rely on her secret pen pal. But as she falls for Will both on the page and in real life, Nora must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart and the found family she’s always wanted for the chance at a happy, unpredictable ending.
