The Executive Arrangement

Length: 19,000 words

Ryan and Claire Thompson’s seemingly stable marriage stands on the edge of financial ruin. When whispers of mass layoffs threaten their careers, home, and future, Ryan’s commanding boss Demetrius Hopeman offers a lifeline wrapped in a dangerous proposition.  

What begins as reluctant participation in high-stakes business dinners quickly spirals into something far more intimate and transformative. Claire, a ambitious marketing executive, discovers unexpected strength and awakening in the face of overwhelming power dynamics. Meanwhile, Ryan finds himself caught between protective instinct, burning jealousy, and a deepening internal conflict that challenges everything he believes about himself and his marriage.
