A Pretty Woman tale turns toxic and deadly in this provocative
thriller of sex, obsession, and murder from Robyn Harding, the "master
of domestic suspense" (Kathleen Barber) and the USA TODAY bestselling
author of The Swap and Her Pretty Face.
Natalie, a young art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her
bills when a friend makes a suggestion: Why not go online and find a
sugar daddy--a wealthy, older man who will pay her for dates and even
give her a monthly allowance? Lots of girls do it, Nat learns. All
that's required is to look pretty and hang on his every word. Sexual
favors are optional.
Though more than thirty years her senior, Gabe, a handsome corporate
finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate, and within a month,
they are madly in love. At least, Nat is...Gabe already has a family,
whom he has no intention of leaving.
So when he abruptly ends things, Nat can't let go. But Gabe's not about
to let his sugar baby destroy his perfect life. What was supposed to be
a mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of
deception, obsession, and, when a body is found near Gabe's posh Upper
East Side apartment, murder.
Emotionally powerful and packed with page-turning suspense, The
Arrangement delves into the sordid, all-too-real world of shadowy
relationships between wealthy, powerful men and the young women who are
caught in their web.
