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.

"Mister grumpy pants. I can hear you sighing from back here. You rejected my offer to have my guards join me which meant that Harry would have been here and you will have hell to pay if anything happens to me during this. I have a very concerned princess waiting for me," said Scarlet. 

"You will be fine. Like your father says, I have a gun, a shovel, and a good spot for anyone who tries to disturb us during this trip. He gave me good advice and a long lengthy call that I was not to mention to you. He is lovely," Ian said, not afraid of Leonard.

"He is quite serious with what he said. My mother has hidden many of his guns though my father knows her hiding spots. I am forbidden to speak to him about any designs of new guns we are making. I do not understand how the men in my family fell for women who do not like guns," said Scarlet.
