'"You've always been secure and pampered." Jarrett Buchan's words Stung. He believed Nicky was just like his spoiled sister. Nicky thought of the foster home in which she'd spent her early years-the fears and the loneliness; and she remembered only too well. But how could the boss of an outback cattle station ever understand the feelings that drove the woman she had become? Well, Jarrett could think what he liked. She wasn't about to enlighten him.' Nicky Reay was in foster care, she fell with Howard Johnston, a kid she was in foster care alone with his sister Cass. Nicky was removed from foster care by her guardian Jack Lane, a rough uneducated crock shooter, like her father. Jack had stuck it rich, and he wanted Nicky to have all that he could give her, so he put her in a boarding school and there she stayed until Jack became ill. Nicky took care of Jack while he was in the hospital, but when he died he left her in the care of Guy Sonder, until she turned 21. Her dream was to find Cass and Howard, marry Howard and live happily ever after. Then she met Jarrett Buchan, and he changed her whole outlook.
