Minerva Dobbs (whose mother named her after the Greek goddess) is 33 and has a weight problem, and a dull boyfriend--David--but no intention of marrying him, or anyone else, anytime soon. David dumps her, and she hears him make a bet in a bar with hunky Cal Morrissey that Morrissey won't be able to get Min into bed within a month. Lo and behold, though, Cal and Min start to like each other, and the entertaining trials and tribulations of the unlikely couple begin.
