Kade does everything he can to contain them, insisting they confine themselves to the music room, but in every way Mia defies him.
A three hour drive from Whylandra, Mia's only choice in treating Tilly is to move out there for the five weeks it'll take to work on Tilly's pronunciation of K and G sounds. Now he's out at the old heritage homestead, Berrilea, that his grandmother left him - the only person to have given him a hug or show love for him during the two weeks he once spent there as a child. He didn't have a mother at all, she died at his birth, and he never had any toys either - he was given his first share portfolio when he was four, and when his father remarried he was sent to boarding school. As CEO of his own company, worth millions, Kade has no time or patience for children, but mostly he simply can't relate. Tilly's parents, Kade's younger half-brother and his wife, died not that long ago, leaving their only child in the care of a man who knows nothing about children and who is eager to get her speech problem straightened out as soon as he can so that he can foist her off onto a nanny while he goes back to the office.
Meeting Kade doesn't go much better: the man is aloof and cold and reminds Mia all too vividly of her own father, whose number one priority in life is making money - something he's extremely good at, to the detriment of his family. The day Kade Reid walks into her office with his four-year-old niece and ward, Tilly, the air conditioning had broken and Mia's already spilled her drink all over Tilly's file - and her clothes. Amelia Windsor left Sydney for the small town of Whylandra in the hot, dry outback of NSW after realising her fiancé cared more about being associated to her famous business tycoon father than her, and set up her own speech pathology clinic, Little Poppies.
