Token

A sexy, whip-smart, enemies to lovers romcom that’s fresh and topical, tackling racism and tokenism as experienced by a young Black American woman in the cutthroat world of Publicity. Kennedy Mitchell is brilliant, beautiful and tired of being the only Black woman in the room. Two years ago, she was plucked from the reception desk and placed in the 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 discovers there’s a lot of on-the-job learning. Some messes are not easily fixed, a pro hockey player overheard using a racial slur needs his image rehabbed; an executive team 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.   "This romance has it all - flirty banter, deep emotion, and a smart, sassy heroine."
