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.

"Leonard, I hope you are not having another drink before dinner has started. Just because you received a large gift of wine does not mean you must try to drink it all fast. Send some to Scarlet or your father. We have too many for just the two of us," said Samara.

"I will personally deliver some to Scarlet," Leonard decided.

"You only want to go see if Ian is around. You are not fooling anyone. Have someone send the bottles so Scarlet doesn't need to try hiding Ian from us again. It was delightful," Samara said, giving Leonard back the glass. "I suppose I should have a glass for all the trouble your family is causing."

Samara sat down on a chair in Leonard's study. "Why now do they think they can fight for an estate that belonged to your grandfather? You said he didn't like them."
