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.

"Roses? You had someone prepare this room for us?" Scarlet asked, surprised by the red flowers. "Are there any more surprises for this trip?"

"If I tell you then how would they be surprises? Your bags will come up soon for you to get changed. Outside is a little cold but we can go for a walk after you rest. Is the inside warm enough to your liking?" Ian asked, hoping this small home would be enough for her.

"It is. We can still open one of the windows to let a little breeze come in. Ian, must I hold you down to make you have portraits done? There is only art here as well. Prepare yourself as I might tie you to a chair soon," Scarlet said, eager to have his walls filled with his face.

"I won't put up a fight as it would fulfil one of my fantasies but it would be a little awkward for the painter, wouldn't it?" Ian replied.
