Bet Me -- Jennifer Crusie

<p>Minerva Dobbs knows all about risk management, which is why it's such a shock when David, her extremely logical choice for a boyfriend, dumps her three weeks before her perfect sister's wedding: David was not supposed to be a wild card. So when Min overhears David make a bet with his old nemesis--the gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey--that Cal can't get Min into bed in a month, she decides that fate has just handed her a stacked deck: she can make Cal sweat his sex appeal and get a date to the wedding, if she plays along and doesn't fold. What follows is a novel of destiny, chaos theory, Krispy Kreme donuts, the spirit of Elvis, Chicken Marsala, and a gamble for the highest stake of all: true love. <p/><i>Bet Me </i>is the winner of a 2005 RITA Award.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Jennifer Crusie<br><b>Publisher:</b> St. Martins Press-3PL<br><b>Published:</b> 08/01/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 448<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.15lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780312548810<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Jennifer Crusie</b> is the <i>New York Times</i>, <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, and <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Maybe This Time</i>, <i> Welcome to Temptation</i>, <i>Tell Me Lies</i>, <i>Crazy for You</i>, <i>Faking It</i>, and <i>Fast Women</i>.
