“Arrangement” is a category for books in which a formal or informal deal shapes the characters’ lives and drives the plot—think arranged marriages, marriages of convenience, fake dating, contractual cohabitation, caretaker or sponsorship agreements, business partnerships, or other pragmatic alliances. These stories explore how negotiated terms collide with emotion and autonomy, examining duty versus desire, power dynamics, cultural expectations, class, consent, and the renegotiation of identity and intimacy under constraint. Tension typically springs from the rules, stakes, and loopholes of the agreement, with arcs that move toward genuine connection, rebellion, or fallout rather than guaranteeing a tidy happily-ever-after. Spanning historical, contemporary, and speculative settings—and crossing romance, literary, women’s fiction, and suspense—this category can also include nonfiction about modern arrangements such as co-parenting contracts, prenuptial agreements, surrogacy, communal living, or polyamory.
