So, ladies, take a seat, settle in, and let Jack entertain you for a spell.
Jack Girard is a former SEAL and current owner of Bad
Ass Catamarans. He is the hero in KaLyn Cooper’s newest release Christmas in
Cancun.
Q - Today I’d like to welcome
Jack Girard to the virtual Hottie Seat.
Jack – Pleasure to be here
ma’am. ~~he casually lowers his powerful
body into the overstuffed red chair and props his ankle on a knee~~
Q - ~~turning complete, undivided attention to the modern day Adonis with
sun-streaked hair that’s just a little too long, bright white smile with a
slightly crooked eye tooth, and that cocky attitude of I-can-handle-anything in
his arctic blue eyes flecked with green.~~
Let’s start with an easy question, you
walk into a bar, what drink do you order?
Jack – Beer, draught.
Q - Tell me Jack, what do
you think surprises readers most about you?
Jack – People look at me and
see the former Navy SEAL. Yeah, I’ve done things in real life that most men
only do in a video game. I have a box full of medals for missions that I can
never talk about. But I’m just a man, albeit highly trained. I want the same
things in life as other men, a job that’s fun and interesting, and a good wife
and children to come home to. ~~The hard
planes of his face soften, and the green in his eyes intensifies.~~
Q – After all the women
you’ve had in your bed, why the demure anthropologist Jillian?
Jack - She’s beautiful. Inside
and out. She always puts Addison, her two-year-old daughter, first in her life.
Jillian is strong, but she doesn’t know it. ~~He
slides me a warning look~~ Before her, those other women, it was just sex. Jillian
taught me about love.
Q - And where is your
favorite place to…love…her?
Jack - ~~a grin tugs at the corners of his mouth~~ A flat surface.
Q – ~~forcing herself to the next question on the list~~ What’s with
the Mayan idols and a Virgin Mary that’s underwater? Really?
Jack – Yes. Really. On the
Island of Women, which is about seven miles off Cancun, golden idols to the
Maya goddesses stood for centuries in a temple. Everyone, except my
grandfather, thought they’d been stolen by the Conquistadores. There is a
Virgin Mary on the coral reef near the north end. It’s a popular snorkeling and
diving spot. We take tourists there all the time.
Q – So for four centuries no
one looked for them?
Jack – Oh, they looked, I’m
sure. Gold is a treasure hunters’ dream and not everyone wanted to find them
for their historical value. My grandmother was of Mayan ancestry. Gramps wanted
them for the museum.
Q – Heard you ran into a
little trouble during your search.
Jack - I don’t want to talk
about that.
Q - ~~nodding with understanding, she moved on~~ Do you consider
yourself your author’s muse or bane of her existence?
Jack – Muse. Definitely. KaLyn
Cooper grew up in a house filled with testosterone, an Alpha father and four
Alpha brothers. Then she married Macho Marine. She knows men. It’s women who
confound her most often. She only writes strong women because that’s all she
knows.
Q – Have we seen the last of
you, Jack?
Jack – Certainly not. KaLyn
Cooper has a novella coming out in January and a couple more books next year as
part of her “In Cancun” series.
Q – Thank you Jack for
joining us today. ~~Turning back to the
audience~~ It’s always interesting to put a hero in the Hottie Seat.
Unfortunately, Jack Girard has got
to run.
Book Title: Christmas in Cancun
Blurb:
Busy building a new career with his catamaran
company, former SEAL Jack Girard had all but forgotten about his grandfather’s quest
to find the golden Mayan goddess statues until his brother’s beautiful widow,
Jillian, and adorable daughter, Addison, arrive in Cancun with the research
materials. His need to complete the family mission is almost as strong as his
desire for Jillian.
Between raising
her daughter alone and finishing her doctorate in Mayan anthropology, Jillian
doesn’t have time for a man in her life. Although, after mourning her husband’s
murder for two years, she’s ready for a man her bed.
An underwater
Virgin Mary statue and centuries-old manuscripts lead the two of them through
the Mayan Riviera and directly into danger.
During steamy Caribbean
nights together, will they develop the ability to move on and discover the real
treasure isn't gold?

writing, she’s at the shooting range or on the river.

“Jack,
it’s nice to finally meet you. Ji…Jimmy spoke of you often.” She hated when she
stuttered over his name, but she’d said it so seldom in the past two years. The
initial pain she’d felt every day, the loneliness every night, had quickly been
replaced with exhaustion and work. Every now and again, it would catch her off
guard. Like now.

Jack
Girard was all man, more man than she could stand to be around. He was walled
by a force field of male testosterone, and she wasn’t comfortable around men to
begin with, but this man…well, she gulped hard. He flat-out made her nervous.
□
His
brother.
Dead.
Nothing left but ashes and memories. He closed his eyes to hold in the
water that threatened to leak. He couldn’t cry. He had been a f***ing Navy
SEAL. Every part of his body had been tested from his muscles to his fortitude
to his brain. Every part except his heart.
