She’s got everything planned—including when she’ll have kids. Until something completely unplanned turns her world upside down.
World-famous Whitney “Sahara” Richardson is at the top of her game. With four Grammys, an Oscar nod, and a 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—and they will come in that order.
That is…until a mix-up at the fertility clinic where her eggs are stored puts the cart before the horse. Oops. Whitney suddenly has a daughter…whose biological father is reluctant to share her.
One in a Million is a fun celebrity rom-com with the poignancy of Abby Jimenez and a modern twist on “surprise baby” for fans of Jasmine Guillory.
“A smart, sexy rom-com that had me chuckling from the first page. I loved it.” —BRENDA JACKSON, New York Times bestselling author, on Token
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.
