* DoubleStandard: Gage's continued pursuit of Diana following their night together (something that was ''contractually agreed on'' to be one night and no more)--showing up at her job uninvited and unannounced, manipulating situations to bring them together--is presented as adorable and playful, despite the fact that she's clearly not interested and finds his behavior upsetting. When she gets fed up and shows up at ''his'' workplace uninvited and unannounced to tell him off and demand that he leave her alone, ''her'' behavior is presented as alarming and disruptive even though she has every right to be angry with him. So a woman acting like a crazy stalker is...a crazy stalker. A man acting like a crazy stalker is in love.

She winds up temporarily living, and having a sexual relationship with, the billionaire, and he is portrayed as an overall better man than her husband in most ways.

Gage ups the ante by flipping a coin and telling her that if she wins, he'll void the deal. He wins and...cue SexyDiscretionShot. At the end, it's revealed that Gage's coin is double-sided. So aside from the fact that she would never have even considered sleeping with him in the first place were it not for the money, both the contract and the coin toss leave her feeling obligated to do this.

* HollywoodLaw: Any contract allowing a man to spend the night with a woman would be null and void, as it is contra bonos mores (against good morals) and is tantamount to prostitution, which is illegal in all US jurisdictions barring the State of Nevada (and even there it is doubtful it would be possible to enforce such an agreement).

* AdaptationalHeroism: All round. David and Diana are far more sympathetic and likable than the book characters Joshua and Joan. Rather than being high school sweethearts, the book couple first met and began an affair when they were both married to other people and eventually dumped their previous spouses (and, in Joshua's case, children) in order to marry each other. Their desire for the million dollars isn't even motivated by finanical desperation but by sheer greed. John Gage is also more sympathetic than his book counterpart as he is a bachelor, genuinely cares for Diana, and gets more development. The Arabian billionaire in the book had multiple wives and was using Joan partly out of pure lust and partly to score points of off Joshua.
