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.

Jealousy (2)

"I need a glass of water and a platter of whatever treats you are serving today. I will be right here waiting for you to return,' Ian told a servant he found.

The servant excused herself to get what Ian needed.

Ian turned to look at where Scarlet sat looking around the garden. He didn't go too far away from her as he knew leaving her alone might be dangerous. Her fool of an ex might look to approach her or one of the men who had to be blind might try to court her.

Ian looked forward to seeing Layla furious as he knew his father must be off introducing him to his peers but Ian was quite ready to take Scarlet and leave the party. Having her by his side was changing up his plan but he didn't mind it.

He found something that made this town tolerable.

"Hello. I don't think we have ever met."
