    As local celebrity chef Suzie Hart starts to step out of her regional fame and into the bigger world, she launches her debut cooking show with some local flavor-a blind date matchmaking sketch with a friend that goes south quicker than geese in winter…. Becca North doesn't want a boyfriend-she is so off men. Her best friend Nora, however, makes boyfriend hunting a sport. When Nora, owner of the Harbor Falls' bookstore, Nora's Novel Niche, meets Suzie the matchmaking chef during a book signing at her store, she finagles her way into a romantic picnic blind date lunch on Suzie's new television show. Nora drags a reluctant Becca along for moral support. Thing is, Nora's blind date would rather check out Becca. Sam Ackerman understands the hazards of being childhood friends with Suzie Hart. Suzie has a way of convincing friends to do her bidding-whether they want to or not. How the landscaper gets finagled into this blind date scenario with a local book store owner is all Suzie's doings-and the fact that he is caught up in a matchmaking scheme is not lost on him. Still, Suzie is persistent and he caves-but only as a favor. He's not interested in dating right now, let alone get joined at the hip with some blind date, husband-hunting, boyfriend-seeker. He's off women. And then he spies Becca.

    When Suzie Hart's success as the matchmaking chef hits the national foodie scene, her publicist produces a list of requirements totally unrelated to Suzie's newfound cooking show success. Interested more in Suzie's matchmaking talents, Patricia Plum presents, The Husband List. Patricia Plum knows she's attracted to commitment-phobic men. Worse, they are attracted to her. Unlucky on her own in the couples department, she asks her new client for help. If Suzie Hart is as good as everyone claims, Patricia feels confident this hot new chef-turned-matchmaker will deliver the husband of her dreams. Just to move things along, Patricia presents Suzie with a specific list of husband requirements. Ames Cooper is Patricia's commitment-phonic ex-boyfriend who screwed up royally in the past (both literally and figuratively) and watched her walk out of his life. He's a dozen years her junior and doesn't meet any of the requirements on her husband list because he's the exact opposite of every point on her list-not to mention the reason she compiled the list to begin with. When photographer, Ames Cooper, steps into the photo shoot for Suzie's new cookbook and sees Patricia again, he realizes why his heart felt so empty these past three years. He regrets his past indiscretions and wonders how he can make things right with Patricia. Will Patricia let him get close enough to prove he can be husband material, after all? And can matchmaker, Suzie Hart, really deliver Patricia's perfect mate to order?
