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

"Scarlet, let's have a word in private for a moment," Ian said, turning around to go back to his office.

"But my water," Scarlet said, trying to stay out of it. She was only here to bring Ian's mother so he could be told about Noelle yet she was going to be scolded.

Now was not the time for anyone to play dumb. Scarlet and his mother shouldn't be in the same room.

"I am happy to not be you right now," Victor whispered to Scarlet. "I will keep Ivy busy for the two of you."

"I should have something strong before I go to him. Have a glass of anything prepared for my return," Scarlet told Owen then walked away to follow Ian.

She was meant to be hard at work to have time open for her break but here she was in the middle of Ian and his mother's reunion.
