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

Scarlet sat alone, watching as her three guests looked around the greenhouse. She didn't bring Ian here for his tour, Alana always said she got too tired when exploring the estate because it was too large and Ryan wanted to see what had changed.

The estate had gone from being quiet to having a few guests as of late. All that was missing were her parents, but she would save Ian from the pressure of having to impress her father.

"They are getting along well," Scarlet noted about Ryan and Ian. Even Alana was enjoying their company.

Ian had some kind of charm to win over the people whose opinions Scarlet valued.

"Why don't you sit down to eat, Dawson? You don't have to guard me now," Scarlet said.

Dawson took his job quite seriously to be guarding her even when Ryan was around.
