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.

"Thank you," Scarlet said, taking a glass of juice Ian took from a passing maid for her. "You are not having one for yourself? The weather is a bit warm so you should drink something even if it is just water."

"I drank plenty before I went for you so I will drink when needed. Why are you staring at it like that? Are you afraid someone tampered with it?" Ian questioned, watching as Scarlet moved the cup in a circular motion. "Have you suspected someone of messing with your drinks before?"

"Plenty of times," Scarlet answered. "I have to be careful. A few greedy people are looking to kill me."

"You drank the tea I prepared for you without any suspicion. Well, not that I saw," said Ian.

"I am not paranoid everywhere I go it's just when I get around some familiar faces. The juice is fine," Scarlet said, taking a small sip of it.
