A Sugar Daddy For Winter

Everyone knows the holidays suck for single people. One trip to Aspen with Winter, and Ivan knows they won't be spending another year alone. Even though Ivan has a high-paying job, that doesn't mean he has any desire to be anyone's sugar daddy. He's seen men his age go through their mid-life crisis with gold diggers and doesn't want to be that guy. Unfortunately, there's one thing worse than being used for his money--being alone during the holidays. He's about to strike a deal to end that horrible tradition. Winter only knows Ivan as the surly Russian who gets a single drink at his bar each night and always leaves a huge tip. The last thing he expects is Ivan's sudden offer for a trip to Aspen. A moment of pure insanity mixed with the holiday blues has him accepting. He has no idea how to act or what to expect. There's no way he could prepare for the storm known as Ivan that upturns his life. A Sugar Daddy for Winter is a short standalone story loosely connected to Charity Parkerson's Sugar Daddies series. While there is no need to have read any of the series to enjoy this book, if you're interested, Sugar Daddies is a contemporary romance, age-gap series where the men are hot, rich, and don't like to be told no.

In a world often swayed by preconceived notions and societal expectations, Sophia, a vibrant 23-year-old, finds herself in the most unexpected of love stories.

"Sugar Daddy" is a tale that challenges the stereotypical narratives surrounding age-gap relationships. This isn't a story of luxury, dominance, or materialism. Instead, it's a profound exploration of two souls connecting on a level that transcends mere physical age. With every page, readers are invited to dive deep into the raw emotions, shared laughter, and tender moments between Sophia and Gory.

In desperation she finds herself at a party on the yacht of Andrew Winter, a playboy oil billionaire, hoping to land a job as his personal assistant. But the gorgeous stranger she ends up talking to isn’t Andrew Winter. In the dim light she couldn’t make out the color of his eyes, but it really didn’t matter.

Laurelin: I work with the homeless, so I dress modestly. Okay, it’s not just modest - I look like a ragamuffin with my patched jeans and torn t-shirts, not to mention the soiled backpack at my feet. But imagine my surprise when a rich, handsome man mistakes me for a homeless girl and offers to let me stay with him … for a price, that is. Tate: I’m not a charitable man, but when I saw the blonde scrounging for food, my instincts kicked into high gear. No one that beautiful should be out on the street, and I offered Laurie a place to stay. What she didn’t realize is that her particular safe space is in my bed … and that she’ll be paying rent with those luscious curves as her belly grows big with my baby! Hey Readers – We’re back with a follow-up to Fake Daddy To Be, but this time the story’s about Laurelin, Channing Saint’s know-it-all little sister. Yes, Laurelin has her heart in the right place, but the problem is that Tate’s interested in more than her heart – he’s interested in that sassy body too. Get ready for a wild ride because the CEO always gets what he wants and this time, he’s willing to pay *any* price. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA for my readers. You’ll love the story, I promise! Xoxo, Cassie

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • “This book devastated me in the most wonderful way,” raves Meredith Wild. In Sugar Daddy, the author of the Cold Fury series proves that vengeance is sweet—but seduction is to die for. Sela Halstead lost her innocence in a way that no sixteen-year-old should ever have to endure. She’s spent years trying to forget that night even while wondering about the identities of the monsters who brutalized her—until a telltale tattoo flashes across Sela’s TV screen. The incriminating ink belongs to Jonathon Townsend, the millionaire founder of The Sugar Bowl, a website that matches rich older men with impressionable young women. Obsessed with revenge, Sela infiltrates Townsend’s world, only to come face-to-face with a tantalizing complication: Beckett North, his charismatic business partner. The tech mastermind behind The Sugar Bowl, Beck always gets what he wants, in business and in bed. And yet, for a man who’s done every dirty thing imaginable, there’s something about the naïve, fresh-faced Sela that sparks his hottest fantasies. Because with her, it’s not just about sex. Beck opens up to her in ways he never has with other girls. So why does he get the feeling that she’s hiding something? In a world of pleasure and power, the shocking truth could turn them against each other—or bind them forever.
