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.

"Scarlet, how kind of you to show up. I'm sorry about the rain."

"Viscountess," Scarlet greeted the host with a hug. "It is fine. We can't predict the weather."

"You make one guest that I don't have to keep apologising to," Cora, the viscountess whispered. "My husband is going to get some of his finest drinks. That should keep the men quiet. The women, on the other hand, are grumbling but they will get over it."

"Listen, Scarlet," Cora said, touching Scarlet's arm. "I hope you don't think that we meant any harm by those two being here. I invited you and Jack before all this other news came out and I didn't think you would show. I am not taking any sides. Please understand."

"I know, Viscountess. It is your home so you are free to invite whoever you wish. I am fine and aside from the light rain, the party was decorated well," said Scarlet.
