Heart of the Sun
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.

  • Enemies to Lovers

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Mia Sheridan's Heart of the Sun

"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."
Publishers Weekly

APRIL 2025 - AudioFile

Andre Santana and Annalee Scott portray dueling chapters in this survival story. Estranged childhood friends Tuck Mattice, an ex-con, and Emily Swanson, a pop star, coldly reunite after 13 years. Tuck's new job as the singer's bodyguard is over before it can begin when their plane crashes. Now they must figure out what has happened to the world they once knew as they trudge home. Scott does an incredible job at fleshing out the introspective and dynamic character of a seemingly arrogant young woman. Without Scott's girl-next-door approach to narration, listeners might find Emily unbearable for the first half of the story. Meanwhile, Satana excels at matching Tuck's reserved speech and passionate internal voice. S.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
