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.

Late call (2)

Ian remained awake while Scarlet had fallen asleep. She had given in to the fact she needed to sleep and he tried to remain still to not wake her yet. She had to eat, but she could enjoy resting a little more as dinner had started a few minutes ago and it should still be warm by the time he woke her.

Ian left her to rest on his arm which she had chosen to be more comfortable than all the pillows she had on her bed. He couldn't help but wonder how she would react to the way she had fallen asleep. Would she be embarrassed or just ignore it?

Ian was enjoying the quietness of the room, but once more, the phone in her room rang. It was the third time that it rang and he was worried that it would awaken Scarlet.

It was either family, work, or someone who didn't know it was time for dinner and wanted to bother her. Ian wanted to get up to cut the cord for the phone so it would stop ringing but he was too comfortable to move.
