A thousand-dollar wager. Eight months of watching her from across the room. One chance to prove the bet was never the point.

Bobbie Shaw stopped believing in romance three years ago, when she overheard her fiancé call her a consolation prize. Now she runs the most sought-after event planning company in Los Angeles, and she doesn't let anyone close enough to hurt her again.

Elias Wren has wanted her since the moment he saw her. But he's spent ten years as a partner at a firm that rewards silence over integrity—and when his business partner bets him a thousand dollars to seduce her, he takes it. Not for the money. For the excuse.

What starts as a lie becomes the most honest thing he's ever felt.

Then she finds out.

Now Elias has to prove—publicly, on his knees, in front of everyone who watched her get humiliated—that Bobbie Shaw was never the prize.

She was always the point.

The Bet is a high-heat BWWM contemporary romance with a plus-size heroine who takes control, a hero who earns his grovel, and an HEA that costs him everything. For readers who like their alphas humbled and their heroines in charge.

This is Book 9 in the So About Last Night series. Each book is a standalone with interconnected characters.
