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

"Forget what you said earlier. You should sit to have breakfast with Victor and then you can join me to meet with some of my peers. It is about time that I introduced you. Are you still with Scarlet?" Hank asked as it would be something good to boast about.

"We are close. I did not come here to speak about her. Victor almost fainted when I saw him so you should call upon his doctor to have a look at him," Ian said, taking care of what was important first.

"Did you?" Hank turned to Victor, disappointed that this was happening again.

Just when Hank started to trust that Victor was well he went around fainting. How could he not turn to Ian when Victor was proving himself to be useless?

"I will have the doctor come right after breakfast. It might be best that only Ian comes along with me for the meeting we have. I wouldn't want you to get sick again. Go on and rest," Hank patted Victor's back.
