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.

"Never? Ever?" Alana asked, still not believing it. 

"Why is it so surprising?" Scarlet questioned. "I did not need it."

"Scarlet, I am far from being a fan of Jack, but shouldn't you have accepted it despite being able to buy what you want yourself? I mean, isn't it normal for men to want to spoil you?" Alana asked, turning to Dawson for support.

Dawson looked at Alana and then at Scarlet. It wasn't normal for him to get involved in Scarlet's conversations. He was just to stand here and protect her. "It is normal."

"I have accepted gifts from him. I don't want to speak of him now. That part of my life is over and I do not want to go down memory lane," said Scarlet.

It was even more annoying to speak of Jack with Beth present.
