I'm so thrilled for the opportunity to help celebrate Ramblings from This Chick's anniversary! Thanks to everyone for taking a minute to read my post and for supporting Danielle's fantastic milestone!

Now onto the juicy stuff... ;)

I have a naughty secret :). When I began research my Falling For You Series, a story about a woman who is dragged to a sex club for her sister's bachelorette party, I started with Google. What was an actual sex club like? Then I had the craziest idea....what if I found an honest-to-god sex club and checked it out personally?

Since I live in the Bay Area, I knew there had to be something that I could use as as 'field research' and inspiration for my tale. I found this club in San Francisco called The Power Exchange. And so my journey into the kink scene began...

I can still remember my anxiety level creeping to OMFG that night. When we got closer and I saw a huge, flashing marquis, I knew there was no way I was gonna be discreet walking up in a place lit up like the Las Vegas Strip.

The friend that I brought for moral support practically had to drag *me* through the door. The Red Door Club that I featured in my story--dark, mysterious and a little scary--was definitely inspired by my little field trip. I just wish there had been a billionaire; brooding, sexy af, waiting in the shadows. Waiting to make every naughty fantasy in my head come true.... ;)

Thanks for listening to my secret and good luck in the giveaway!

Penny Robertson just wanted to get through the events leading to her sister's wedding with as little drama as possible. Smile until it hurt, avoid questions about her lack of someone special, then put it all in the rearview.

She wasn't counting on traipsing to The Red Door Club--or meeting the drop-your-panties sexy businessman, Xander Wade. Xander has a proposition for her: if she agrees to pretend she's his girlfriend for a month, he'll go with her to the wedding...and pay her twenty thousand dollars.

It seems like easy money; a business arrangement that benefits them both, but she wasn't counting on falling for him.

Xander Wade works hard and plays even harder. CEO of a cutthroat investment firm, his philosophy on romance is no strings attached.

When his ailing father threatens to boot him from the company if he doesn't settle down, Xander makes a choice to play the game. He'll pretend he's the marrying type for a month, then go back to the jet set life. No complications. No love.

He wasn't betting on Penny. A month seemed like a breeze before her. Now, a month isn't long enough...
