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.

"Why aren't you eating? You didn't get this platter for me to eat alone, did you?" Scarlet asked as Ian hadn't touched anything on it. "I am not starving for you to need to let me have everything. Take one."

"I am not fond of sweets," Ian answered. "I feel full watching you eat."

"That will not work on me. Put it down between us so you can eat," Scarlet said, trying to take the platter from Ian but he moved his hand. "Ian."

"Scarlet. Good that we know each other's names," Ian replied.

Scarlet gave up, folding her arms as she was not going to eat.

"You have a childish side to you, Scarlet. Not that I mind as I enjoy learning more about you. Would it please you if I eat just one or would you forget it if I said that I don't eat sweets because I still listen to what the woman who raised me said?" Ian asked, looking down at the treats for what might not be so sweet. "Why couldn't they have some sort of bread?"
