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.

The Resilient Lady Collins

New Story on my Profile!

"Welcome back," Florence stopped when she saw Ian exiting the carriage first instead of it being Scarlet. Though he was becoming a frequent visitor she was still always surprised to see him. "Welcome back, Lady Collins and Mr. Kingsley."

"That makes me sound like my father," Ian said, touching his wounded chest. This was the very reason he didn't want his employees to refer to him as Mr. Kingsley.

Scarlet held Ian's hand as she stepped out of the carriage. "It is what you are. Where is Alana?"

"The princess is making use of one of the libraries and asks to not be disturbed until it is time for dinner," Florence answered.

"She is hard at work already. Good, I won't disturb her. Can you please show Mr. Kingsley to the kitchen? He would like to make a pot of tea. What?" Scarlet questioned Ian because of his gaze. "You are Mr. Kingsley. What else am I to call you?"
