jackie collins first novel
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.
as of chapter 127, the only significant plot hole in this novel surprisingly comes from Jackie. It's really unrealistic for Mercer not to consider that Jackie will not betray him if arasaka threatens to kill his mother. Didn't Mercer consider this at all when he's recruiting Jackie? What if he's blackmailed by arasaka, can he just abandon his mother for the group? and why didn't arasaka use Jackie's mother as a blackmail material when hunting Mercer group in the first place? as far as I know the only member that still has family is him. at the very least arasaka should've attempted it. overall it's great
