New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Crusie's delivers a novel about long shots, risk management, true love, and great shoes...

Minerva Dobbs knows how to work the odds.

Calvin Morrisey always plays to win.

But when they face off, neither one is prepared

Because when real life meets true love, all bets are off...

Minerva Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Even if he is gorgeous and successful Calvin Morrisey. Cal knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. Even if she does wear great shoes, and keep him on his toes. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again.

But Fate has other plans, and it's not long before Min and Cal meet again. Soon, they're dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kreme donuts, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a freakishly intelligent cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of. Including the biggest gamble of all-true love.

"Bet you can't stop reading it. Absolutely, irresistibly hilarious."

-Kirkus Reviews

"Crusie maintains her winning streak...wickedly witty, deliciously sexy."

—Booklist

The Washington Post

Her friends, his friends, her family (including a nagging mother who has appointed herself Chief of the Food Police to the chubby Min), his family (more menacing than hers), the wedding, swell shoes and Krispy Kreme donuts provide the reader with the pleasures of a twisting plot and the snap and flash of witty dialogue. Other pleasures, more universal, emerge as we read: At stake, finally, are the heroine's and hero's self-images, as they learn to recognize and repair their emotional wounds. This book, based on such an unlikely and unromantic premise -- a bar bet about sex -- is a tightrope, and Crusie navigates it with assurance and outright brio. — Pamela Regis
