Now a USA TODAY bestseller!
From mega-bestseller and TikTok sensation Mia Sheridan comes an all-new epic second-chance romance with an unexpected and gritty speculative twist.
When the world is plunged into darkness,
Who would you turn to?
Amid the sun-drenched orange groves of California, childhood friends Tuck Mattice and Emily Swanson shared a bond that seemed unbreakable—until life ripped them apart.
Thirteen years later, Emily is a rising pop sensation in need of security, and Tuck, a brooding ex-con, is in need of a fresh start. When fate brings them together once again, Emily hires him on as her new bodyguard. They butt heads and bicker, just like the old days—yet neither can deny the heat rekindling between them.
But when a cataclysmic solar flare disrupts the electrical grid, society is suddenly plunged into chaos and darkness. For Emily, the familiar comforts of fame and fortune crumble, but for Tuck, this stark new reality could be the chance he needs to finally prove himself. As they come to terms with all they've lost and the bitterness that's kept them apart, they must find their way back to one another and discover a new place, under the sun.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Blending romance with a postapocalyptic fiction, the daring latest from bestseller Sheridan (The Broken Places) introduces ambitious Emily Swanson and bookish Tuck Mattice, who were neighbors and friends as children. Now Emily is a musical superstar as her alter-ego Nova, while Tuck is fresh out of prison after a tragedy upended his life. Tuck needs a job and not many people will hire ex-cons, but Emily's eager to help and offers him a spot on her security team. Then, while they're flying over Illinois, Earth is hit by a massive solar flare. Their plane crash lands in the woods in a world that is forever altered. The electrical grid and all satellites are down, and communities quickly descend into chaos. Against this harrowing backdrop, Emily and Tuck must depend on each other to survive. By alternating between the two leads, and occasionally flashing back to their shared youth, Sheridan easily draws readers into the love story, painting a portrait of two broken and searching people up against nearly insurmountable odds. The apocalyptic worldbuilding is especially effective, setting the stage for themes of loss and redemption. The result is often deeply troubling but also achingly romantic and ultimately hopeful.
