A Goodreads user asked Gail McHugh:

Gavin Blake is such an epic character. The two of you made such a powerful impact on contemporary romance and helped redefine the romantic leading male. Can you share what or who inspired him?

Gail McHugh Hi Nicole!

Thank you for your question. :)

I saw him so clearly, heard his voice so loudly, he was actually pretty easy to write. I knew I wanted him to be made up of everything that represents a charming, caring, loving, wiseass, loyal gentleman, and when I told him that, he provided me with everything I'd asked for.

After all this time, he still pops into my head to say hello. ;) xo
