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 is this incident you speak of? Does it have something to do with knowing that Ian was back?" Hank asked, his hold on Layla's arm tightening as she refused to answer him. "Do not push me to force it out of you woman. Tell me the truth."

"I knew that he was back then but what should I have said about it? Why did you need to know about a son you threw away?" Layla asked, glaring at Hank for holding her as if she was a common woman. "Victor is the only one you need to know about. Not the bastard you brought into our home."

Hank scoffed. "That I brought? Wasn't it you who wanted me to be with the maid throwing herself at me so we could have a son? Remember you would pay her to forget that she had a child for us."

"That…" Layla paused, having nothing to argue against it. "I knew that it was wrong and told you to stop."

"Well, it was too late then," Hank said, releasing his hold on Layla.
