Summary
Everything in author David Winkler’s life reads like a “Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills” fairytale. A film producer of titles such as the Creed franchise, the fifty-three-year-old sits on the top tier of his profession, enjoys a wonderful relationship with his two children, and even gets along famously with his ex-wife. But seeking to avoid the drama and disappointment of dating and with his belief in “radical honesty” and ethical non-monogamy, David reasons a shortcut through modern courtship: he becomes a sugar daddy.
Using a website that connects successful older men with younger women for romantic/financial relationships, David meets Jordan, a beautiful Instagram model and influencer who harbors dreams of launching her acting career in Los Angeles. After the relationship begins magically, shadows begin to form and dark secrets take their toll. In the jaw-dropping tradition of Californication and Valley of the Dolls, The Arrangement takes us down the Hollywood rabbit hole of sex, power, and money, leaving listeners in delightful disbelief…because it’s all true.

Critic reviews
“Bold. Brave. Unflinchingly and brutally honest. The devastating heartbreak throughout makes David's journey and destination hopeful beyond measure. Not only for him, but for the reader; since not a word reads anything but heartfelt and sincere.”—Daniel Stern, author of Swingland
“David has the audacity to lift the veil of secrecy around sugar daddy and sugar baby relationships, while treating serious mental health issues like drug and sex addiction with sensitivity. As a woman who’s battled her own demons and lived to write about it, I was hooked from page one.”—Carrie White, author of Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life
“David Winkler's sex-and-love memoir, The Arrangement, reads more like a suspense novel, replete with twist and turns, red herrings and a femme fatale. Even for a woman who writes her own Hollywood tales, it's hard to believe it's all true—but it is! Sex and the City for the men in our lives, whose secrets and broken hearts are hidden beneath crisp suit jackets and the masculine urge.”—Gigi Levangie Grazer, author The Starter Wife
