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.

"Florence?" Ian replied, not exactly surprised at how comfortable she was using the head maid's name.

"Florence was the name of the woman who brought you here. Did she not introduce herself?" Scarlet asked, curious as it would be unlike Florence.

"She did. You surprised me once more as I have been around women of your standing and they refer to their head maids not by name sometimes but by a head maid," Ian answered.
