Sugar Daddy

Sugar Daddy is the first book in Sawyer Bennett's Sugar Bowl trilogy, a romantic-suspense series set inside The Sugar Bowl, a website that pairs wealthy older men with young women. Sela Halstead has spent years plotting revenge against one of the men who assaulted her as a teenager, and when she spots his tattoo on Jonathon Townsend, the site's founder, she signs up determined to expose him.

Her plan complicates the moment she meets Beckett North, Townsend's business partner and the site's tech mastermind. Beck proposes a sugar-daddy arrangement of his own — she moves in, he pays off her college loans — meant to last a single month. As the arrangement stretches on, Sela finds herself genuinely falling for Beck even as her real reason for being there stays hidden.

Told against a backdrop of wealth, power and manipulation, the novel builds toward the moment Sela's secret surfaces, testing whether it destroys what has grown between them or binds them together. It ends on a cliffhanger that continues directly into Sugar Rush.
