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.

What family looks like (5)

Scarlet somehow managed to make it through dinner without getting up to search for Herbert. As long as Herbert and Sunny did not cross paths or one of the maids came across Herbert, the day should end well.

"Since you're all so worried about Herbert, we will go to our room and place him in his box. First, come with us Victor," Rue said, needing to speak to him alone.

"It was wonderful seeing you again, Ian. I will try to be around when you and Leonard go on the hunt. I am not fond of it so I will not join you for practising. I hope you do well to help us win during the hunting contest," said Samara.

"There is something to be won?" Ian asked as he hadn't heard about a reward.

Ryan stood up from his seat. "You will soon find how competitive this family is. There is a plaque to be displayed for a year to let everyone know you did best in the hunting portion. Scarlet's group won it last year."
