The Situationship — EmKay Connor

Take a modern young woman and a hot-as-blazes nice guy with an 'understanding', throw in a huge meddling family, and you have a situation. The Situtationship is a laugh-out-loud romantic romp with steamy bedroom antics, hilarious banter, closeknit siblings, a racy grandmother, a swoony grand gesture, and a guaranteed HEA that will make you sigh...deeply. I don't expect my family to get it, although there are a few dusty skeletons rattling around the closet about Grammy's wild child days. She's pretty cool for a great-grandma and might understand, but the rest of the Peabodys? Not in a million years. If we had a family crest, the coat of arms would have an egg and sperm with the motto Egredere et multiplica — Go Forth and Multiply. No way am I ready to trade in my Christian Louboutin leather work tote for a diaperbag or bury my La Perla bras and panties under a pile of lululemon yoga pants. I'm having too much fun with my girlfriends and working on becoming the youngest VP at my corporation to give it all up for a walk down the aisle and stretchmarks. But that doesn't mean I can't have my cake and eat it, too. That's where Dexter Bancroft comes in. He's something between a bootycall and a boyfriend. No official commitment, but we see each other on a regular basis. Neither of us is ready for love...but a lovefest that includes strawberries and whipped cream? I'm all over that. Until... Mom and Dad splurge for a weekend in the city and catch me on my walk of shame. Suddenly, Dexter is coming to Sunday dinner, Grammy's eightieth birthday party, and a family jaunt to Italy. My family thinks they have me and Dexter all figured out...but I don't have a clue what's happening between us. How in the world did our situationship go from simple to complicated and why is everyone in my family in love with Dexter except me? Unless I've been in love with him the entire time...
