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

"That's what I thought I heard," Ian said, rolling Scarlet over to be on her back and him over her. "Before I do this, you must consider the possibility that you might become pregnant. Stop thinking that you might not have the ability to have a child."

Scarlet didn't think it was possible. "Three years have gone by and I do not have a child."

"And the woman your ex-husband moved on with had to fake having one. I don't think you are at fault for your marriage not having children come from it, so think twice about what you want me to do now," said Ian.

While he was eager to do as she wanted, one of them had to think about the consequences that could follow. They were not married and should a child come out of this, the town would have its time speaking about the fact she was unwed with a baby inside of her.
