Token (PB) (2023)

Kennedy Mitchell is brilliant, beautiful and...tired of being the only Black woman in the room.

Two years ago, Kennedy was plucked from the reception desk and placed in the corporate boardroom in the name of diversity. Rather than play along, she and her best friend founded Token, a boutique PR agency that helps "diversity-challenged" companies and celebrities. With corporate America diversifying workplaces and famous people getting into reputation-damaging controversies, Token is in high demand.

With business booming, Kennedy soon discovers there's a lot of on-the-job learning. Some messes are not so easily fixed, like the pro hockey player overheard using a racial slur who needs his image rehabbed, and an executive team that requires diversifying and sensitivity training asap. When Kennedy's ex shows up needing help repairing his company's reputation, things get even more complicated. She knows his character is being wrongly maligned, but she's reluctant to get involved. Soon, she finds herself drawn into a PR scandal of her own.

"Token is the romantic comedy holy grail: incisive, wryly funny, and sexy as hell." --Ashley Winstead, author of Fool Me Once
