Book Excerpt
It wasn’t until Cody came running out,
throwing his arms around Cole and screaming “Dad!” that I realised what
actually happened last night.
I slept with my new stepbrother’s dad. I
had sex with my stepmother’s ex-husband.
I wanted to shrink back into myself. It didn’t really happen, did it? We have to
be in some kind of alternate universe. Like Asgard. That would explain why Thor
is here, at my fucking house, looking like the god he is in black jeans and a
light denim button-down shirt.
Cole hugged Cody tight but didn’t take his
eyes off me. “Hey, buddy. I’ll be along in a minute. I need to … umm … I forgot
something out in my car. I’ll be back in a sec, okay?”
“Okay.” Cody ran back inside, leaving us both
standing in the entryway completely silent and completely stunned.
“This isn’t happening,” he mumbled. He
started pacing the porch, running his hand through his hair. “Please tell me you’re a babysitter, or a
housekeeper, or … fuck, I don’t know. Please tell me you’re not who I think you
are.”
My mouth opened, but nothing came out.
“Reece said Paul had a daughter. I just
assumed a pimply pre-teen with pigtails. Not … oh, this is not good.” He looked
like he was about to hyperventilate. “Did you know who I was?” His eyes snapped
to mine.
“What?” I choked on the word.
“Did you know who I was?” he said, slower
this time and through gritted teeth. He stepped closer so he was within an inch
of me.
His aftershave smelled incredible, and
being that close to him made me want to reach out and touch him, kiss the mouth
that explored all of me last night. I forced myself to find my voice. “I swear,
I didn’t. I wouldn’t have …”
We were interrupted by Reece coming to the
door. “Everything okay out here? Cody said you forgot something.”
Cole took a step back and tried to wipe the
terrified look off his face. “Yeah, yeah, everything’s fine. Thought I left my
phone in the car.” He pulled it out of his jeans. “But it was in my pocket.”
Reece looked at him like he’d lost his
mind, but stepped aside and invited him in. “Dinner’s almost ready.”
“Wait … you’re staying for dinner?” I asked
and then looked at Reece. “He’s staying for dinner?”
She sighed. “Yes, Paige, I invited my
ex-husband over for dinner.”
“But he’s your ex …?” I said, confused. I
couldn’t remember the last time my mother and father had a meal together.
“And he’s also Cody’s father. We’re
technically family. We all have to try to be mature about this, so we’re going
to need to make the effort to get along.”
Does
having his cock in my mouth count for getting along? Pretty sure I nailed that
last night.
Don’t
even go there, Paige.
About the Book
Title: One Night with Hemsworth
Author: Eden Finley
Genre: Romance
Cole Turner’s ex-wife is getting
remarried. No amount of alcohol can drown that out, but taking home the
hot brunette at the bar is a good enough distraction. That’s all Paige
is meant to be—a distraction.
Paige Minor is too busy studying for her
law degree and getting over a bad breakup to care about finding another
boyfriend. All she wants is one night of careless fun with a complete
stranger. Cole seems like the perfect candidate.
When Cole goes to pick up his son from
his ex’s perfect house, with her perfect fiancé, and perfect new life,
the last person he expects to see is Paige. She definitely shouldn’t be
the one opening the door. As he stares at the person who was in his bed
less than twenty-four hours earlier, a single thought occurs to him: I
just slept with my ex’s new stepdaughter.

Author Bio
Eden Finely grew up near Brisbane in Qld, Australia. She’s a romance/erotica author by day, and Batman at night …
Okay, I’m not Batman, but I feel like I am. I have a cool secret name and everything.
I have several Young Adult works published under my real name. For this reason, I chose a pen name to write for this genre to keep them separate. Well that, and I don’t want my mother to read Eden’s books. Seriously, how freaking awkward would that be?

I’m a lover of reading and writing
anything that involves romance, contemporary, paranormal, suspense, and
YA. If I’m not spending time with my family, chances are I’ll have my
laptop or kindle in my hand.
