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

"She attacked me. You should have expected it after you told her to stay. She wants me out of my own home and she will do whatever she can to make it happen. She shared that she went to the court to tell them about our plan to have someone give us a child. She is to be rewarded," Layla revealed.

"What nonsense are you speaking of now? You didn't like that I went to see Ian and Victor was there. That was not something worth fighting over and I am embarrassed that you did it here. My hair," Ivy said, raking her fingers through her hair.

Layla couldn't believe how Ivy was pretending to act like she wasn't the one who said those words. Was she taking it all back now because her plan was revealed? "She was the one who said it. She went to see the court today. You mustn't trust her."
