Age gap MC romance with cheatingBy Lynda Stewart

About this audiobook
Mira Sorokin is thirty, licensed, and better at her job than every man on the site. When the Verdigris MC hires her to engineer the rebuild of their burned-out clubhouse, she runs the pour schedule, reads the fire damage better than the crew, and makes hard men take her orders in the high-desert heat. What she does not plan on is Malcolm "Grizzly" Vanterpool — the club's retiring president, fifty-two, all easy charm and thirty years of everything going his way.
She falls for him with her eyes open. And mid-summer, she finds out he never closed the door on Georgette, the on-and-off flame he swore was "long over." The lie is transparent, lazy, insulting — because a man who has been getting away with everything for three decades never had to learn to lie well. The worst part isn't the other woman. It's that he didn't respect her enough to try.
Mira does not scream and she does not fight for him. She finishes the build on her contract and her terms, keeps every ounce of her independence, and lets the season he wasted lying become the ground she stands on. Malcolm spends a year discovering that charm is the one tool that finally broke — that the only currency left is the un-lazy, unglamorous work of honesty he never had to do. He tells the whole truth. He closes every door he left open. And to sever the deference that let him coast for thirty years, he hands the president's patch to his own son and starts over, at fifty-two, as a man instead of a king.
He Was Too Old to Lie This Badly is a grown-up, character-driven age-gap MC romance where the gap flips the power — she's the competent one, and his age is no wisdom, just old habits. A real other-woman reckoning (with a woman he wronged too, who closes her own door with dignity), a year of hard-earned honesty, and a heroine who chooses him back only as an equal — and marries him with her name cast in bronze on the building she engineered. Gritty, smart, and hard-won, with an on-the-page happily-ever-after.
