Synopsis

Master Chef Jamie Onassis has used every penny she has to buy a beautiful country inn she plans to turn into a five-star restaurant. Unfortunately, the inn turns out to be a "handyman's special" and, without the skills or capital to make the necessary repairs, Jamie risks losing everything.

Home and garden expert Valkyrie Valentine is a rising star among the do-it-yourself set. A seemingly perfect homemaker, Valkyrie seems destined to become the next Martha Stewart—as long as no one discovers her embarrassing little secret: she can't cook.

Sheila suspects that Valkyrie's hands-on skills extend well beyond home improvement—and she's looking for some private lessons.
