The Series

Five letters. Five books. One name.

Each book carries one letter. Together they spell the name of the woman everything revolves around. Whoever opens the fifth book knows who she is.

World 1 — Desire

The dark side of desire

Everything is about sex, and sex is about power. Love & Sugar looks where other books look away – honestly, without shame, without kitsch.

  • A platform where beautiful women make the rules
  • From the opera to the club where nobody says their name
  • Closeness money can't buy – and pays for anyway
World 2 — Adventure

Europe, first class

Arrive Friday, leave Sunday. In between: grand hotels, spas, roulette tables and nights no travel guide knows.

  • Twelve cities, twelve weekends, twelve hotels
  • Pace and elegance instead of sentimentality
  • A man who learns to play the game – and to win

Four Threads

More than a love story.

Love & Sugar tells its story on four levels at once. Each can be read on its own – together they draw the picture of a man growing up in a crazy world.

01

Dating in the digital age

Beautiful women hold the power – and earn money with it, on OnlyFans or through sugar dating. Anyone who wants to play has to know the rules.

02

The dark side of sexuality

Everything is about sex, and sex is about power. The series describes what really happens between two people – no soft focus.

03

Europe, hotels and spas

The cities aren't a backdrop, they're players. Every weekend a new hotel, a new spa, a new evening – like a travel guide, only with a heartbeat.

04

Systems, not goals

The hero is a follower of Scott Adams and David Goggins: he builds his life out of systems, not wishes. And pays the price for it.

“If you want to be happy, you have to pay the price.”
Who it's for

Two ways to read it.

For her

If you devoured Fifty Shades

… and wanted more than a repeat afterwards: a story where the woman makes the rules, the men have to grow up and the cities are as seductive as the nights.

Desire, told honestly.
For him

If you want to learn the game

… and are ready to grow up: Love & Sugar is also a handbook – for men looking for poise, style and clarity in a digital world. If he can do it, many can.

A guide, disguised as a novel.
The Author

A true story, late in life.

The author lives in Switzerland. For two years he met her one weekend a month, each time in a different city. Then she left – in peace, in love. He writes to hold on to that time. And so that other men can grow up in a crazy digital world.

“I found love late. And the best time of my life.”
The author of Love & Sugar
