Teddi usually ignored Drew Scoones's warnings to stay out of his cases… After all, who in her right mind would give up steamy post-arrest debriefing sessions with Detective "Swoons"? But when Drew's partner is accused of murdering Peaches Lipschitz—aka the "Hooker Housewife"—the department promptly takes Drew off the case. Now he's looking at a major lifestyle change and finally doing the one thing that really rattles Teddi… proposing marriage! So "Long Island's Most Dangerous Decorator" is doing the impossible: "breaking up" with Drew to investigate on her own…and making her snobbish mother happy for the first time ever. And she's finding that slipping Drew clues undercover is as hot—and dangerous—as revealing Peaches' secret clientele. But Drew isn't going to stay sidelined for long—or let one irresistible interior decorator get away scot-free.…
Literally, he's had it for every hour of the day for as long asTeddi's known him. So it's no coincidence that minutes afterTeddi stumbles accidentally on a corpse in the deep freeze atKing Kullen, Detective Dreamboat is back on the scene. Hersupermarket snob (among other things) of a mother will neverlet her hear the end of it. Nor will Drew, who has told Teddi time and again she's gotto stop messing with murder scenes. Until Teddi goes frommaterial witness to potential next victim… But the woman whose smarmy ex dubbed her "Long Island'sMost Dangerous Decorator" isn't going down without a fight.Or going down alone. Not when she's got an oh-so-irritating,way-too-irresistible cop watching her every move…
Let me tell you a story about a girl on Long Island, who always tried to play life by "the rules" — as outlined in the Secret Handbook of Long Island Rules... That girl, uh, woman, is me, Teddi Gallo. I'm the mother of three kids under the age of eleven, best friend to Bobbie (who denies there's any such thing as a secret handbook, but who knows all the moves by heart) and the daughter of June (who has inside info on the rules, but has a reserved room at South Winds Psychiatric Hospital, as well). And if I don't have enough to send me over the edge, my too-handsome-for-his-own-good husband seems determined to drive me crazy. But why? This is the tale of how I had to rewrite that old, dusty handbook — and while doing so, I suddenly discovered the secret to happiness was living by your own rules. And that has made everything different.
From balance sheets to blue plate specials, Heather James has a lot to learn about running a restaurant.

Is lasting love the bottom line…If I Make It Through December by Kate Austin Teddi Bayer could use some holiday magic, especially since Grandma June is making everything worse. If only there was a magical menorah Teddi could rub, and pouf! But rubbing it while humming "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" seems to have unexpected consequences.
