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.

"I am jealous that you have already found the person you want to settle down with while I must now begin my search. I like seeing you and Scarlet together. She will make for a wonderful sister-in-law. She would have to be crazy to not accept your proposal should you do one," said Victor, thinking Ian was well suited for a woman like Scarlet.

After losing his mother and father, he could focus on celebrating Ian and Scarlet being together.

"If there were to be a wedding, would I be invited?" Victor asked, crossing his fingers behind his back.

"Do not get ahead of yourself by thinking about a wedding. I just said that I do not know if it would be something that she wants to do and we are just reconnecting. Let us work on getting to know each other before we speak of invitations," Ian replied.
