Stephenson<\/em><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Release Date:<\/strong> August 1, 2010 &#8211; Harlequin NASCAR<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d been lying to himself, Holt Forrester conceded as he dodged three men chest-bumping in the graveled parking area by the New Gorge River.\u00a0 Minutes earlier the trio had parachuted together to a flawless bull\u2019s-eye landing.\u00a0 \u201cCongratulations,\u201d Holt called out without stopping.<\/p>\n<p>Had he really thought he could handle the crush of people in attendance today?\u00a0 Managing his investments based on cold, hard data was one thing.\u00a0 Directing a tired mother with a wailing toddler to a port-a-potty was totally outside his comfort zone.\u00a0 Still&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Pausing, he glanced up to the gleaming span of bridge eight hundred and seventy-six feet above.\u00a0 Another jumper yelled a battle cry as he somersaulted off the platform.\u00a0 Moments later a white parachute popped open against the blue sky.\u00a0 Holt smiled.<\/p>\n<p>Unbelievable.\u00a0 He\u2019d actually done it.\u00a0 He\u2019d pulled off the fund-raising event for breast cancer without a hitch.\u00a0 All the months of convincing everyone in the West Virginia government from the governor to the Division of Highways to allow this special day of BASE \u2014bridge, antennae, spans or earth\u2014 jumping had paid off.<\/p>\n<p>The adrenaline buzz of his own jump still pumped through Holt along with pride and satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>He had known those adventurers who thrilled to parachute free falls wouldn\u2019t be able to resist the lure of a legal jump off the second highest bridge in the United States.\u00a0 All in the name of a good cause, the \u2018Amanda Forrester Jump for Cancer\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>An event to honor his mother.\u00a0 He\u2019d been only twelve when she had lost her battle to breast cancer, but the memories of her efforts to maintain a normal life for him and his father despite her pain remained seared in his soul.<\/p>\n<p>The latest jumper splashed into the river.\u00a0 Volunteers gunned motorized inflatable rafts and raced toward the man to pluck him from the water.<\/p>\n<p>Holt released a sigh of relief.\u00a0 So far the event had gone without any major injury to any of the participants.\u00a0 Only a cut here, a bruise there.<\/p>\n<p>The only other thing that would make this day perfect would be to meet the woman with the smoky-warm voice who had called him from Double S Racing.\u00a0 Emma-Lee Dalton.<\/p>\n<p>He looked around for his assistant.\u00a0 Ted would know if she had registered.\u00a0 He might not be able to find her in this crowd, but surely she would be at the auction following the jumps.\u00a0 Double S Racing had been more than generous in its donation of NASCAR racing memorabilia, and Holt suspected that the very enthusiastic Ms. Dalton was largely responsible.\u00a0 He wanted the opportunity to thank her in person&#8230;and see if the woman matched the voice, he admitted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, Holt!\u201d\u00a0 Stan Preston hurried toward him.\u00a0 \u201cDid you see all NASCAR bumper stickers in the lot?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stan huffed to a stop.\u00a0 The older, heavier set man wore carefully-creased khaki\u2019s, a blue oxford-collared shirt and navy windbreaker.\u00a0 He pulled a handkerchief from his pants pocket and mopped his brow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWasn\u2019t I right about NASCAR?\u00a0 The fan loyalty is incredible.\u00a0 Once I got the word out that the organization had donated items for the auction, the fans hotfooted here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were right, Stan.\u201d\u00a0 Not only had Holt been impressed with the man\u2019s contacts at NASCAR, but he\u2019d been amazed by the surge of registrations after the auction announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The man beamed.\u00a0 \u201cYou understand now why a NASCAR sponsorship would be a smart business move for your launch of the new software line?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be a fool not to.\u201d\u00a0 Holt had met the insurance magnate when Stan had consulted with him about developing computer programs.\u00a0 When Stan had gotten it in his head that he wanted to start his own NASCAR team, Holt had been one of the first he\u2019d hit up for sponsorships.\u00a0 A sponsorship seemed to be good business, but Stan\u2019s new team might not be a good fit.<\/p>\n<p>Holt never jumped into a deal, which is how he made his millions.\u00a0 He needed more data before he made his decision.\u00a0 He hadn\u2019t even divulged to Stan the true nature of his latest computer venture.\u00a0 Although the Internet was alive with rumors, he was keeping the game under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHolt.\u201d\u00a0 Stan looked concerned.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I was checking out the auction, I noticed several items from Double S Racing.\u00a0 The owner Gil Sizemore isn\u2019t wooing you as a sponsor, is he?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No point mentioning to Stan that he had found himself flirting with the Double S\u2019s representative.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-4254\" data-postid=\"4254\"
