From the back cover:
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 keeps 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.

A reread. And as usual, this one always lift my mood.

Kind of loved the crap out of this book. There's nothing I love more than witty banter and dialogue. Loved Cal and Min and Elvis the cat. Wasn't so enthused about the David and Cynthie storyline, but they served their purpose. And now I want to eat chicken alfredo like, a whole lot.
