Slum Bride, Arms Queen

Ivy, the sole heiress of a North American arms empire, gives up her fortune to marry into European royalty under a false identity. But her husband Lucas’s obsession with his deceased first love’s sister leads to betrayal and the loss of their unborn child. Heartbroken, Ivy walks away. When his kingdom faces invasion, she returns—not as a princess, but as the arms dealer holding the keys to survival. Lucas, wracked with regret, abdicates the throne and throws himself into the front lines to atone. At the brink of death, they reunite. Ivy chooses not to cling to the past, but to embrace a new life growing within her—a journey of self-redemption, female awakening, and a redefined understanding of love.
