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

Beth stopped in her tracks. She was counting on Jack not knowing anything about her plot to kill his mother but more importantly, the baby.

Having a baby was all that Jack wanted and he had shown his excitement by going around the town telling everyone he was going to be a father. Though he had kicked her out, Beth knew that he would not leave the child.

Now that he knew it was all a lie and was searching for her, would he kill her before she got the chance to fix all of this?

"I am not pleased with it but that boy has a temper I cannot control. I've done my best to steer him away from Scarlet and surprisingly, keeping you here is what has you still alive," said Dorothy.

"If you would not have spoken about it to him, we would not all have to be worried about his anger!" Beth yelled. Why would Dorothy bring that up to Jack now? Did she want to see her son become a murderer?
