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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBet Me \u003c\/i\u003eis the winner of a 2005 RITA Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Crusie\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eMaybe This Time\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Welcome to Temptation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTell Me Lies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrazy for You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFaking It\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFast Women\u003c\/i\u003e.
