A fun, spicy romcom with the poignancy of Abby Jimenez and a modern twist on “surprise baby” for fans of Jasmine Guillory.
'A strong supporting cast and complex subplots reinforce Kendall's spicy romance that probes issues of identity, commitment, and modern family dynamics' SHELF AWARENESS
Megastar Whitney “Sahara” Richardson has everything planned - including when she’ll have kids. But a medical mix-up makes her the biological mother of a child she didn’t carry and whose father she’s never met.
World-famous Whitney “Sahara” Richardson is at the top of her game. With four Grammys, an Oscar nod, and a half-billion-dollar clothing line, her career is skyrocketing. Even her headline-grabbing dating life is looking up. And if everything goes as planned, marriage and children are just a few years away. However, a mix-up at the fertility clinic where her eggs are stored puts the cart before the horse, and Sahara suddenly has a daughter... whose biological father is reluctant to share.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The baby comes before the parents even meet in Kendall's unsuccessful twist on the surprise baby romance trope, a sequel to 2023's Token. Whitney "Sahara" Richardson, a Black Grammy-winning pop star, Oscar-nominated actor, and the owner of a billion-dollar clothing company, freezes her eggs so she can have a family with the right partner once her career has calmed down. After a mix-up at the fertility clinic, however, high-powered white attorney Myles Redmond and his wife, Holly, learn that their biracial infant is biologically Whitney's. Holly abandons both Myles and the baby, while Whitney, after learning the truth, is eager to be a mom. It's a setup that calls to mind the TV show Jane the Virgin but with half the charm. Myles is distrustful of Whitney and takes out his frustrations and insecurities on her, despite the fact that she's just as blindsided by the situation as he is. Their evolution from enemies to lovers is a hard sell after such a rocky start. Superwoman Whitney, meanwhile, is a heroine whose strength and success occasionally strain credulity. These two feel mismatched.
