The Husband List

Patricia wants the perfect husband, and Suzie Hart's matchmaking skills seem like the answer. But does love mean checking all the boxes? Or following her heart?

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 adore 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.

Ames Cooper is Patricia's commitment-phobic ex-boyfriend who screwed up royally in the past and watched her walk out of his life. He's years her junior, and doesn't meet any of the husband requirements, because Ames is the exact opposite of every point on her list—likely the reason she compiled the list to begin with.

When Ames steps into the photo shoot for Suzie's new cookbook and sees Patricia again, he realizes why his heart has felt so empty these past three years. He suddenly regrets his past indiscretions and wonders if he can make things right.
