Garrick Dempsey InterviewI’m thrilled to be having breakfast with Garrick Dempsey at his favorite downtown cafe. He orders a Grand Slam and I get coffee, not sure I could chew properly right now, this guy is hot, hot, hot…Garrick, let’s be honest, you left a prestigious job as a mechanical engineer with British Petroleum to work as head of security at the Devil’s Den? Who does that?Garrick: *smirks* I don’t care what anyone else does… Family means more to me than money. After my parents died, I reevaluated my life and decided I wanted to spend more time with my sister, Gretchen. The owner of the Den was my dad’s best friend, he offered the job and I took it. I never intended to spend the rest of my life there, just needed time to think and still bring home a paycheck.What do your sister and friends think about your choice?Garrick: *shrugs* Gretchen doesn’t like it. As for my friends… *rolls his eyes and smiles* It’s a strip club. Cold beer and front row seats. It’s not the first time I’ve changed directions. My best friend says I traded pigskin for a pocket protector. *chuckles*You played football?Garrick: *grins* I turned down a football scholarship to Purdue to go to MIT.Any regrets, Garrick?Garrick: Everything happens for a reason. *takes a swig of coffee* Call me sentimental, but if I didn’t leave BP, I would have never met Robyn. Hell, I wouldn’t be here talking to you.And how does Robyn make you feel?Garrick: That’s a loaded question. Gut feeling after we first met? She’s tenacious and smart. Underneath her tough-girl façade was a layer of vulnerability she tried to hide. If I got too close too fast, I was afraid she’d run. I wanted to help her overcome some of her fears. I was up against some pretty formidable foes, ghosts from her former life. Now? *crosses his fingers* Tight. Nothing can tear us apart. I love her.Correct me if I’m wrong, it only took three days for you…Garrick: *coughs* Chemistry.For the ladies… Boxers? Briefs? Or boxer-briefs?Garrick: Boxer-briefs, but known to go commando. *arrogant smile*Any words of wisdom?Garrick: Don’t judge. There’s good and bad everywhere.

About the book:
Welcome
to the Devil’s Den, a Texas strip club where the air is heavy with desire—and
sometimes dreams come true.
Ever
since her mother kicked her out, twenty-year-old Robyn Gonzalez has been
working the poles at the Devil’s Den, saving up to finish college and travel
the world. With only her wits and her gorgeous body to rely on, Robyn has
learned to be independent—fiercely independent. She’s never been tempted to let
a man distract her from her dreams . . . until she meets the dead-sexy Garrick
Dempsey.
The
club’s new head of security, Garrick had walked away from a career as a
mechanical engineer to return to his roots in Corpus Christi. He hadn’t planned
on getting to know someone like Robyn, with her sinfully sweet combination of
vulnerability and strength, at the Devil’s Den. She acts tough, but only
because she’s been hurt. Soon Garrick knows he will do anything to win Robyn’s
trust. And if that means surrendering to the red-hot chemistry between them,
all the better.
