Stella Baldwin thought her life couldn’t get worse. Being left at the altar was bad enough, and the drunken rant she posted to her half a million social media followers in the aftermath was the cherry on top. But having to show up at her cousin’s bachelorette party in Las Vegas barely two weeks later feels like a cruel joke.
Thomas Maxwell-Brown is just looking for a good time. With his aristocratic family’s expectations pressing down, his career as a Formula 1 driver threatened by fresh talent, and a new reputation as the most hated man on the grid, he needs a break to clear his head. And what better way to decompress than with a stag party in Vegas?
Stella isn’t the woman Thomas expects to meet that night. And Thomas isn’t the man Stella expects to wake up next to in the morning-with a ring on her finger. Staying married might be the perfect solution to all their problems, even if it is a little wild. Sometimes, what happens in Vegas doesn’t need to stay there…

Review by Isabelle
Stella and Thomas turn their drunken Vegas wedding into a calculated attempt to repair their damaged public reputations. Their chemistry is unavoidable, so it's deeply entertaining to watch them try to keep their hands off each other when there are no cameras around. I loved their easy-going, flirty dynamic and how much they supported and understood each other. Read this if you enjoy the marriage of convenience trope, confident characters with larger than life careers, and light spice.
