Publisher Comments:

objective: Find a Rich, Handsome and Successful Man

Kate Svenson may be a dynamite businesswoman—but after three failed engagements, she's decided she's hopeless at romance. What she needs is a Business Plan to help her find Mr. Right.

The Cabins resort is ripe with eligible bachelors, all rich and ambitious—just her type. But they're dropping like flies, and after fishing Kate's latest reject out of the swimming pool Jake Templeton is convinced that Kate is nothing but trouble. Especially for him.

A man who's sworn off ambition and a woman hanging from the top of the corporate ladder don't have much in common. But in that unpredictable territory known as the heart, anything can happen….

Synopsis:

In this wickedly funny tale about one womans best-laid plans, Kate Svensons objective is to find a man. After three failed engagements, she realizes its time for an organized, detailed agenda with a clear goal: finding Mr. Right.

Synopsis:

Few popular writers handle light romantic comedy as deftly as Jennifer Crusie.

--Boston Globe on Bet Me

A sure bet... Jennifer Crusie's rollicking romance hits the jackpot.

--BookPage on Bet Me

Wonderful, fresh, funny, tender, outrageous... Crusie is one of a kind.

--Booklist on What the Lady Wants

Crusie seems incapable of writing a boring page, or one that's not aglow.

--Kirkus Reviews on What the Lady Wants

A non-traditional couple (he's 30, she's 40) and a dog with a true personality make this one of the funniest, sexiest romances of the year.

--Library Journal on Anyone But You
