Slum Bride, Arms Queen

Ivy is the sole heiress of a North American arms empire, yet she sets her fortune aside to enter European royalty as Lucas's wife, hiding who she really is. Her marriage frays as Lucas stays fixated on the sister of his late first love, and the betrayal costs Ivy her unborn child. She leaves without looking back. When invasion threatens Lucas's kingdom, Ivy reappears carrying what the defense needs: her standing as an arms dealer, not a princess. Lucas, weighed down by regret, gives up the throne and goes to the front lines to atone. Near death, the two meet again, and Ivy turns toward the new life she carries rather than the past.
