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.

"You. You've not changed from the last time I saw you. Now is not the time to be making threats, Ian. It is time to come home and be part of the family. I understand why you would have hesitated to inform me of your return, but I cannot allow you to stay here. In a place like this," Hank said, looking around the business.

Hank had something better for Ian to do. If Ian would listen, Hank would one day pass on his title to Ian since he was a healthy son. He'll apologise to Layla for what his actions led to. Right now, he couldn't place the future of his land in a sick son.

Ian got the answer his younger self needed in the past. The answer was that the man before him wasn't his father. They shared the same name and blood, but they were hardly family. Now that the answer was there, Ian wouldn't feel any remorse for what shall become of his father.

"There is plenty of time to solidify your spot in the family. You are old enough to protect yourself-"
