Sugar Daddy

Sela Halstead has spent years planning revenge on one of the men who assaulted her when she was a teenager. When she notices his tattoo on Jonathon Townsend, founder of The Sugar Bowl, a website that matches wealthy older men with young women, she signs up to expose him.

Then she meets Beckett North, Townsend's business partner and the technical mind behind the site. Beck offers her a private deal: she moves in with him, and he clears her college loans. The arrangement is meant to last one month.

The month does not end it. Sela finds her feelings for Beck turning real while the true reason she came stays hidden from him. Every day under his roof adds to what she stands to lose.

This is romantic suspense, the first of the Sugar Bowl trilogy, and it plays out amid money, power and manipulation. The question driving it is what happens when her secret comes out: whether it wrecks what the two have built or ties them closer. The book stops on a cliffhanger that picks up directly in Sugar Rush.
