He Put Another Woman on Her Throne
Biker MC Romance Other WomanBy Lynda StewartLength8h 30m
About this audiobook
Beatrix "Trix" Sallinger built the throne. She took a rough outlaw club and gave it a food bank, a charity, a reason for the town of Drennan Falls to leave its porch lights on for the Hallowmere MC. She made her husband a king. And at the summer rally, in front of the whole town, Garrick "Crown" Ostervald raised the club's annual queen's toast — and gave it to another woman.
Renley Pais is twenty-eight and dazzled and never once argued with him, and that was the whole appeal. Trix challenged Garrick. Renley worshipped him. So he put the woman who reflected him back where the woman who built him used to sit, and called it a coronation.
Trix does not cry and she does not fight for the chair. She does something no one at that clubhouse imagined the wife would do: she takes the charity out of the club entirely, makes it the real institution of the county, and becomes the actual power in a town that was only ever powerful because of her. Let him keep his little crown. She is building a bigger one.
Garrick spends a year learning what he threw away — surrendering every crown in public, naming her out loud as the one he wronged, doing the thankless un-royal work of a man who finally understands the title was never him. He steps down as president. He puts his own seat to a vote and offers it to her. And Trix, from the top of the thing she built with her own two hands, looks at the throne he's finally handing back — and turns it down.
