There are only a couple of rooms up on the top floor, and I haven’t seen a soul since I stepped out of the elevator. I’m a few drinks in now, tipsy as hell but not quite drunk.

I have to hustle in my three-inch heels to keep up with Jack’s long stride as he leads me down the hallway, toward a door marked “Penthouse”. Naturally.

Reporters, bloggers, and photographers rubberneck around each other, every single one vying for my attention. I’m sitting at a long table with Enzo, my d...
What I need more than anything right now is a long, hot soak to calm my nerves. Tonight is a big deal, after all. I have to have my wits about me. Shucking off my cotton robe, I dip my feet into the gathering water, relishing the pleasurable shudder that runs up my spine. Through the bathroom win...
