Why wouldn’t she want to make a guaranteed income like what Drew suggested? If the series tanked or the network decided not to air it, the ladies would still have the initial payment. Violet wrapped her arm around Denali’s waist and squeezed.
“Denali, I know you didn’t want to be in front of the camera, but this isn’t something we can pass up.” Sadie dropped her arms and motioned to the backyard. “Think about what we could do with the dogs, what we could do for the community. We wouldn’t have to wait to expand.”
“If we played it right, we could make even more on merchandising, not to mention the fact that the exposure could bring us more clients.” Aurora’s matter-of-fact tone said the discussion was over, but Denali shook her head.
“It could also backfire.” She hugged herself tight again. “We aren’t that entertaining.”
Bjørn knew that wasn’t the truth. He’d only been around the family for a few hours but already had been drawn in. They wouldn’t have a hard time getting viewers.
“There’s plenty of room in the chopper for a camera or two.” The words tumbled out of Bjørn’s mouth, and part of him wished he could snatch them from the air and shove them back in. He had looked forward to time alone with Sadie to get to know her.
Everyone turned to him like they’d forgotten he was even there. Bjørn smirked as he stood and joined them. He would’ve forgotten, too, if that kind of money was being tossed around.
“We were already planning training trips for your search and rescue dogs.” Bjørn pointed to the coffee table. “If you filmed those first, you’d have time to figure out how you wanted to do the law enforcement side of the business.”
He kept his gaze on the ladies. He wanted them to know he was doing this for them, not the network or even Drew. If his help could ease some of Denali’s hesitance, then he’d take Sadie and her dogs out every day for a month straight if he had to. He held Sadie’s gaze, her brown eyes thoughtful.
“That could work.” She turned to Drew. “Would the network pay for fuel?”
“Yep.” Drew turned to Bjørn, his mouth turned up on one side in a thankful smile.
Bjørn gave the man a small shake of the head in warning. Don’t get too cocky, yet. Bjørn was pretty sure the Wilde women were an all-or-nothing type of family. If Denali didn’t give in, the others would respect that, even though they’d be disappointed.
“If Bjørn’s a regular on the show, would he get paid for that as well?” Sadie crossed her arms, her face steely in a challenge.
“Yeah.” Drew shrugged. “I don’t know specifics, but usually others are paid for each second on air.”
“So, if he’s on the screen for ten minutes of an episode, he’d be paid six hundred seconds?” Aurora asked.
“That’s right.” Drew nodded.
“Will you help us make sure he gets a premium rate and that his business is showcased as well?” Sadie asked, and Bjørn opened his mouth to protest, only to snap it shut at her quick glare.
Sadie lifted her eyebrow at Drew, her eyes flicking to Denali, who had her fingers pressed along her eyebrows and was shaking her head. Drew’s gaze followed, his face softening a bit before turning back to Sadie.
“I’ll help however I can to make this the most beneficial to everyone.” Drew’s conviction was so strong, Bjørn wondered just how far Drew would go to keep his word.
Sadie stifled a smile, then winked at Bjørn. Beautiful, smart, and cunning? Bjørn’s attraction lifted from safe ground, soaring to new levels that gave him vertigo and made his head spin. His heart raced as he watched Sadie launch into ideas, her hands waving as she talked. He was such a goner. Excitement built in her voice, and she touched his arm, including him in her plan. The familiar rush of adrenaline that only came when he flew a mission coursed through him. Sadie was an adventure he hadn’t planned for, but it was one he could dive full speed into.
