Everything in author David Winkler's life reads like a "Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills" fairytale. A film producer of titles such as theCreedfranchise, the fifty-three-year-old sits on the top tier of his profession, enjoys a wonderful relationship with his two children, and even gets along famously with his ex-wife. But seeking to avoid the drama and disappointment of dating and with his belief in "radical honesty" and ethical non-monogamy, David reasons a shortcut through modern courtship: he becomes a sugar daddy.

Using a website that connects successful older men with younger women for romantic/financial relationships, David meets Jordan, a beautiful Instagram model and influencer who harbors dreams of launching her acting career in Los Angeles. After the relationship begins magically, shadows begin to form and dark secrets take their toll. In the jaw-dropping tradition ofCalifornicationandValley of the Dolls,The Arrangement takes us down the Hollywood rabbit hole of sex, power, and money, leaving readers in delightful disbelief...because it's all true.
