Well, the signing today hadn’t gone as expected. Jessica kicked off her Jimmy Choo’s as she entered her hotel suite. She looked around and smiled. Being a bestselling author had its perks. The suite was truly gorgeous with a separate bedroom and attached bath with an enormous king-size bed, a separate large sitting room with a desk and ergonomic chair, and a bar/kitchen area. There really wasn’t a kitchen per se, but there was a hidden microwave, a fridge filled with snacks and drinks, and a bar with top-shelf booze. The room was on the top floor and had a panoramic view of the harbor.
