Everything in David Winkler’s life reads like a 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 traditional dating, David reasons a shortcut through modern courtship: he becomes a sugar daddy.
Enter Jordan, a 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. The Arrangement takes us down the Hollywood rabbit hole of sex, power, and money, leaving readers in delightful disbelief…because it’s all true.
Multi-hyphenate David Winkler is a film producer of titles such as Creed, Rocky Balboa, The Gambler, and The Mechanic. While he cut his teeth on writing screenplays such as Finding Graceland, The Arrangement is his first book. David is compelled to explore the theme of intimacy through his work by personal experience and revelation. In addition to writing, producing, and directing, David is an avid golfer, surfer, and above all, family man.
Praise for The Arrangement.
“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 of The Starter Wife and Been There, Married That
“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
“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: Between the Sheets of the Secretive, Sometimes Messy, but Always Adventurous Swinging Lifestyle
