A LIBRARYREADS BONUS PICK!"This romance has it all--flirty banter, deep emotion, and a smart, sassy heroine."--JENNIFER PROBST, New York Times bestselling author
She's brilliant, beautiful...and tired of being the only Black woman in the room.
Two years ago, Kennedy Mitchell 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.
Kennedy quickly discovers there's a lot of on-the-job learning and some messes are not so easily fixed. 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--professionally and emotionally. But soon, she finds herself drawn into a PR scandal of her own.
"A smart, sexy rom-com that had me chuckling from the first page. I loved it."--BRENDA JACKSON, New York Times bestselling author
"Token is a rom-com perfect for our times. I can't wait to see it on the big screen!"--KAIA ALDERSON, author of Sisters in Arms

I can't wait to see what Beverley Kendall brings us next."--ASHLEY WINSTEAD, author of Fool Me Once
