Scarlet Collins's life is flipped upside down after news of her divorce from her husband, Jack Humphrey, spreads around town. Despite her husband’s affairs being brought to light, Scarlet finds herself the topic of gossip as the town tries to find the answer to why Jack would leave the young heiress. 

Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed. Said to be a woman with a heart made of black ice, the people in town believed their opinions would not affect her so they had no reason to stop voicing them. 

During an afternoon out seeking peace, she finds herself starting an unlikely relationship with Lord Kingsley's bastard son, Ian Kingsley.

"Thank you," Scarlet thanked Ian for the coat he offered to her.

"I have no use for a man's coat other than now. I shall return it to you when I get inside," Scarlet replied, pulling the coat close to protect herself from the cold air.

Ian turned to unlock the door quickly so she wouldn't freeze. "You don't have to use it. Just keep it somewhere in your estate for me to collect another time. Then I would have a real reason to visit."

"Well, now that trick won't work because I know of your plans," said Scarlet. "You are not turning on the lights?"

"I don't want anyone to think that I am open and disturb us. I will only turn on one light," Ian answered, locking the door behind Scarlet after she entered.

"How many businesses do you have?" Scarlet questioned, still hooked on his success.
