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.

"Our son has been acting unlike himself since that bastard came around and I seem to be the only one interested in what is happening to Victor. Would it hurt you to be a parent for once?" Layla questioned, looking down at Hank.

Hank wished at this very moment he could lose his hearing. "Leave the boy be. You should be glad that he is going out more. He has been cooped up in this house long enough."

"Because he has been unwell. We can't have him going all around the town and I don't know where he is. Do something about it," Layla pleaded with Hank. Why was she the only parent concerned about what was happening to Victor?

Everything felt out of order since Ian returned. Life was going so well before then and now she had to be worried about her son. Why couldn't Ian just crawl back to wherever he had been hiding all these years?
