The Resilient Lady Collins

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.

"Ian, do not walk by me. I have dealt with you trying to embarrass me long enough. I've come here to speak to you about something important. Scarlet can hear it too. I'm sure she will enjoy it," said Hank.

Scarlet thought differently because she had no interest in what the Kingsleys did. Nothing about Hank impressed her. They should stop making the mistake that her interest in Ian meant that she had an interest in the entire family. 

Scarlet wanted Ian's family troubles to stay with him. She did not need to be dragged into it when she had relatives after her home to take care of. She didn't need Hank or Layla like little flies around her.

Ian ignored his father and went to Scarlet's carriage rather than his own. They would find a way for him to return home later or possibly, not return at all.

"Ian," Hank raised his voice. Not only was he Ian's father, but he was also a lord. There was to be respect given to him when he spoke.
