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.

Dinner came to an end with no more questioning which pleased Scarlet. She no longer tried to stop Ian from going off with her father to speak since Ian wasn't listening to her and wanted to do it. Scarlet was satisfied knowing that she tried her best to save Ian from ending his night with threats.

While Scarlet remained with Alana and her mother, Leonard led Ian outside to have a drink whilst they spoke.

Ian quietly followed behind Leonard as though he was following his father somewhere to be scolded.

"You can relax," Leonard said, handing Ian a glass. "I am not going to kill you tonight."

"Tonight?" Ian questioned, accepting the glass from Leonard. "That sounds as though you are saving it for another night."
