Brought Hibiscus in

Ok you experts,
I need some help-  I bought a red flowering Hibiscus back in the Spring.  It
was in a gallon container and rootbound.  I bought a much bigger "patio pot"
(plastic terra cotta look with saucer on bottom to catch water) and pretty
much left it alone except to water and feed.
Now, it's supposed to freeze tonight (it's been cold several nights now, but
not close to freezing...) so I've brought it in.  It's about 3ft tall from
the top of it's pot, and at least that big around.  It looks healthy enough.
 All the leaves are nice and green, rather "firm" looking, limbs are nice
brown woody looking.
My question, how can I help it adjust to indoors?  Outside, it was under a
somewhat thin apple tree.  It got nearly full sun until about 2 or 3 in the
afternoon when the shade from my house reached it.  Where would be the best
suited place to put it?  Right now, I've got it about 12ft from 3 windows.
 The Hibiscus would be the "point" of a triangle with a double set of windows
in the left "other" corner, and a single window in it's right corner.
 Windows are on South side of house.  Hibiscus against middle of the house
wall to the north.  
Did I give you enough detail, or should I be a little more specific?
