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.

Scarlet shifted around in her bed, awoken by the sound of something dropping close by. She opened her eyes to once more be welcomed by the view of the evening sky thanks to the window perfectly placed for when she looked to the left of the bed.

Scarlet was confused by being back at home when she last remembered getting food with Ian in town after they spent most of the day buying gifts for her family and she secretly bought something for Ivy.

"Oh," she rubbed her eyes, remembering that it got too windy so they had to return. Her feet still ached from walking around too much.

Ian was unaware of the pain since she kept it a secret to continue looking around. 

Scarlet looked to the right only to find the bed empty. The only place she could think Ian went to was the kitchen as he would need to prepare dinner.
