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.

"Poison? That's absurd, Victor. I was never the one-" Layla stopped talking when Ian pointed the gun at her. She had forgotten not to speak right now.

Victor touched Ian's hand to have him turn the gun to their father. "I want to hear her speak. I want to have her tell the truth for once. I have already done my investigation and know the truth. Now is not the time for you to lie about what I know. You ended up poisoning me."

"No, I did not," Layla slowly shook her head.

There couldn't have been a mistake in the past since she wouldn't have been so careless to poison Victor. Layla had done her best to keep Victor from the cottage so he wouldn't be near when she sent the poison.

Victor had plenty of food here so why would he go to the cottage where there was hardly anything to eat?
