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.

Warning (1)

"Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now?" Ian asked as he loaded the bullets into his gun.

"Because you are kind?" Owen answered. His panic grew as Ian started to point the gun in his direction. "Because there will be no one to greet Scarlet and escort her to your office like I do."

"Any idiot could lead her here," Ian said, keeping the gun pointed. "What did I do to deserve being stuck with you?"

"You saved my life and I didn't ask you to do that," Owen replied, remembering how they met. He was close to dying and Ian was pissed off about something which led to him shooting Owen's attacker.

Owen continued, "I still remember how I tried to run and you fired a warning shot to get me to stop."

Ian looked up at Owen, wondering what he meant by a warning shot. That was one of the few times he had missed his shot. He didn't want any survivors at that time but then Owen started to ramble on and on about Ian owning his life.
