Bet Me

Setting: small city in Ohio

Thirty-three-year-old Minerva Dobbs is annoyed when her current boyfriend dumps her three weeks before her sisters wedding. But shes downright furious a few moments later when she overhears her now “ex” boyfriend bet hunky Calvin Morrisey that he cant take her home and bed her. In fact, shes so angry at them both that she lets Cal take her to dinner and decides to string him along until after her sisters wedding. Minerva pegs Cal as a handsome “used car salesman of seducers.” Cal thinks Minerva is a “cranky, starving, risk-averse statistician.” But Minervas hormones keep whispering “this one,” although she knows the gorgeous Cal isnt the man for her practical, white-cotton-bra, several-pounds-over-thin, self. And Cal is blindsided by the lust he feels for the voluptuous, sensual woman he glimpses behind Mins actuary exterior. While Cal and Min struggle to deal with their mutual distrust and attraction, their friends and families try their best to interfere and direct the progression of the unlikely romantic connection.
