CHAPTER SEVEN

“FIRST AND FOREMOST,” Kit said to Madison when she called early Monday morning from Dallas, “have you gotten Chance Cartwright to agree to appear at the trade shows when the Ranchero is introduced?”

Madison, who’d been up for hours preparing for the film crew currently en route from town to the ranch, cast a glance at Chance, who was supervising the moving of all of his horses to pastures away from the house. The horses weren’t needed for today’s shooting schedule, and although Chance hadn’t come right out and said as much, Madison could tell he was relieved to have them out of harm’s way.

She turned from the sight of the Lost Springs boys, who’d been promised they could watch Chance’s first day of commercial filming provided they were quiet and well-behaved. “I haven’t brought it up,” Madison told Kit finally.

“We know you’re going to have trouble getting him to agree to it,” Kit said.

“And then some,” Madison muttered. “But don’t worry. I’ll figure out a way.” Somehow.

“Well, you better get to it as quickly as you can because you’re running out of time. The public relations people at AMV are putting together a schedule of events for Chance and the new pickup truck as we speak, and they’re going to want to get his verbal okay and start making travel reservations by the end of the week.”

Kit went on to discuss several other matters of importance, then said, “As you know, Shawna Somersby was sent up to assist you.”

“She arrived last night with the rest of the crew, didn’t she?”

“Right. She’s still a little overeager,” Kit cautioned.

Meaning, Madison thought, Shawna’s lack of experience had caused a few problems in Dallas.

“But I’ve been working with her here and she should be a lot of help as a runner. And I’ll be here, handling things on this end.”

“Thanks, Kit. And thanks for sending Shawna up to help out, too.” With all she was going to have to juggle, Madison needed someone at her beck and call. It would help to have Shawna there.

“No problem.”

No sooner had Madison hung up with Kit than a convoy of trucks, vans and cars rolled in, kicking up clouds of dust on the gravel lane leading to the ranch house. A tractor trailer truck, bearing every color and variety of the new Ranchero pickup, brought up the rear. Madison grabbed her clipboard, cell phone and pen and strode out to meet them. It was early morning, but the day already looked to be a blistering one.

Chance intercepted Madison in the yard. “Overdoing it a tad, aren’t they?” he observed dryly, inclining his head at the number of vehicles jockeying for parking spaces along the lane while the catering truck quickly set up in the shade. Technicians piled out onto the grass, looking eager to get started, while Ed Connelly and Ursula Rodriguez,
