I'm participating in a class on conflict through one of my chapters and we've just covered GMC's. While I've technically understood this in the past, finding and exploiting the character's GMC's has always been somewhat of an ordeal.
Amazingly, they jumped right up, eagerly waving their little hands for the h/h in Rider.
Here they are:
Heroine
EG - She wants to guard her hidden past
EM - because she'll lose her livelihood
EC - but a handsome stranger threatens to reveal her secret unless she helps
him find his kidnapped sister
IG - She wants a family of her own
IM - because she's been alone
IC - but no man can accept her dark secrets and love her
Hero
EG - He wants to find his missing sister
EM - because he's to blame for her disappearance
EC - but he can only do it by blackmailing the heroine
IG - To earn the respect of his adopted family
IM - because he owes them for giving him a home
IC - but he feels he'll never be worthy of them
Of course, maybe these are so apparent to me because I'm writing chapter 8 right now. Maybe? LOL, I've completed two other books and wasn't so sure about the GMC's even after I finished!
