What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there…
Alec Rourke wasn’t going to waste a night out on the Strip, not even if his friends skipped their own co-ed bachelor-and-ette party. But he never expected to find a plus-one for their wedding—his new wife.
And sometimes you find yourself married to a stranger…
Alessia Valenti was having the worst day ever. Fired from her job. An eviction notice on her door. Her sister dragged her out to blow off some much-needed steam. Only she hadn’t planned on a stop at the wedding chapel with a hot hockey player.
Married Into Love can be read as a standalone. Each book in the Bachelorette Party series features a different couple.

CHRISTIE’S REVIEW
~~4.5 STARS~~
Married Into Love is a sweet, sexy read! It’s a quick read, but Paige leaves nothing out of the story.
Alessia has had a really rough day! She was unfairly fired from her job and comes home to find out that she, her sister, and her mother are being evicted from her apartment, after her mother gambles the rent money. She is wracking her brain to find solutions, but her sister, Ariana, has a better idea…go to a club! Alessia finally relents, not realizing it will forever change her life.
Alec is in Vegas for a friend’s wedding. Ever the bachelor, he decides to go out when most of the wedding party are staying in. He is single and enjoys it. He brags to his friends that he will never fall in love like they did, and if he does, he would never let anything keep him away from his woman like they did. He friends warn him that statements like that are tempting fate, and he has no idea how right they are. As soon as he lays eyes on Alessia when she walks into the club, his life will forever change too.
Alessia spends the night enjoying his company and the drinks while Ariana plays matchmaker which results in Alessia and Alec married. These two definitely did things backwards, but it was fun watching them get to know each other and fall in love. Alec shows her that men can be trusted and can be supportive, and she learns that it’s okay to let others help you. Alessia changed Alec’s complete outlook on love and marriage. Of course, they have to get to know one another, and there will be obstacles. This romance definitely took me away from reality for a while, and I loved it. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series!!!!!

EXCERPT
“I still can’t believe how fast all you guys fell for your women. You. Andrew. Jason.” I took a shot of vodka, and poured us both another one. “Not a single one of you were into the whole relationship thing at all, and then bam! You’ve got eyes for only one woman and a possessive streak a mile wide when it comes to her.”
Ryan took the vodka from me and gulped it down, shrugging his shoulders. “When you meet the one, you’ll know. Just don’t make the same mistake that I did with Tamara and let her get away from you.”
“That’s another thing all three of you have in common.” I chuckled and shook my head. “I’m not the kind of guy to fall head over heels for a woman at first sight like you guys did. But if hell froze over”—I paused to glare at Ryan as he burst into a fit of laughter—“and I get all riled up over some chick I barely know, I won’t make the same mistake you all did. No walking away from her, even if I think she belongs to someone else like Andrew did with Josie. No letting her run from me because she thinks I’m a douchebag who hits on a woman all night long, only to get up close and personal with some other chick while she’s in the bathroom, like what happened with Jason and Cee-Cee. And I sure as shit won’t let her sneak out on me the morning after like you did with Tamara. I’ll exhaust the hell out of her so leaving me is the last thing on her mind.”
We reversed roles, and it was Ryan who was glaring at my reminder of how he’d fucked up with Tamara and lost contact with her for months. Then he narrowed his eyes at me, and a smug grin tilted his lips. I shifted in my seat, uncomfortable with how pleased he suddenly looked.
“What?” I asked sharply, and the limo got quiet as Jason’s childhood friends stopped talking and turned to look at Ryan and me.
“Nothing.” His grin turned into a full-fledged, shit-eating grin.
“Bullshit, dude. What the fuck’s up with you? You went from being totally pissed at me to grinning like you know something I don’t. Don’t be a douche. Fill me in on the secret.”
“Karma, man. She’s a bitch,” he chuckled.
“You’re gonna have to do better than that,” I growled.
“That’s the second time I’ve heard you say that hell would have to freeze over for you to fall for a woman. And now you’ve paired it with bragging about how you’d handle it better than we all did.”
“Dude,” one of Jason’s friends drawled. “Talk about tempting fate. You’ve got to have brass balls to put shit like that out in the universe and think it’s not gonna come back to bite you in the ass.”
Hockey players tended to be a superstitious lot, but I hadn’t expected the wealthy, preppy guys Jason grew up with to believe in stuff like karma. Not that I grew up poor—my parents did very well for themselves, but they weren’t in the same league as Jason’s family and their closest friends.
“It is,” Ryan agreed. “And I’m going to enjoy every second of watching you squirm when it happens.”
