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.

"Your mother is starting to bother me. Alana will not be your wife. I know that it is her choice but given everything said about your family as of late and what happened with him," Scarlet pointed to Ian. "I don't want her to get into a mess."

"Um, aren't you in that mess?" Victor questioned, bringing light to her relationship with Ian.

"She isn't," Ian answered. He didn't consider himself part of the Kingsleys. "I'm trying to think of a good last name to get. What about Collins? You could stay as you are now. Scarlet Collins."

While Scarlet liked the idea of not having to change her name again, she wasn't going to entertain Ian's talk about marriage.
