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 have been with my family all day and have not looked at work. Then with the trip we are planning to take, I must hurry to do as much as I can so I will be completely free then. It is a benefit for you, is it not?" Scarlet asked as she was doing this for him as well.

"It is a benefit for the future me but present Ian doesn't like seeing you. We should please the Ian that is with you now and go to bed, Scarlet. I am waiting patiently but that patience is starting to run out," Ian said, tempted to lift her and bring her to bed.
