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

"There isn't a need to get too much of the relatives involved," Luke said, worried about them all approaching him at once.

He had allowed Scarlet to take Alana to avoid dealing with the Callahans, but it still managed to be this way.

"I was already planning to apologise to Scarlet and hoped she would also apologise. We both said or did some things that weren't right. I am also ready for Alana to return to where she belongs. A princess belongs in a palace, Ryan. You need to bring her back," said Luke.

"I am not going to force the princess to come back here, especially with how you treat her-"

"Ryan," Luke interjected since Ryan was getting ahead of himself. "I do not get involved in what happens with your family. Do not get involved with what I do with my family. Alana is to marry and the longer she is with Scarlet the longer it will take."
