About this listen

 A FREE werewolf romance audiobook delivered as a daily podcast. By day, Laurel Atwood is a realtor selling marquee real estate in the city that killed her father. But by night, she's working to protect the wild spaces fighting to survive the exploitation of the rust and ruin. Her newest listing, the abandoned Ohio River Ironworks, should be her golden ticket. Instead, it's the one deal she can't afford to close.

Enter Ford Caldwell: a displaced Alpha from the Appalachian wilds with raw gold in his pockets, a dying pack at his back, and a plan to turn the Ironworks into a sanctuary before a corrupt developer bulldozes it into luxury condos. He needs Laurel to launder his assets. She needs him gone before he ruins everything. But the wolf inside him knows the truth: she's his mate, and he'll burn the city down before he lets her go.

This is enemies-to-lovers meets eat-the-rich in a gritty urban fantasy where fated mates collide with gentrification, forced proximity ignites in abandoned steel mills, and the real monsters wear suits.

Perfect for fans of: Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Ilona Andrews, urban fantasy romance, shifter romance, anti-hero romance.

A new chapter. Every day. For free. From Arcane Heart Studio.

    Chapter 6: The Bag of Rocks | Werewolf Romance
    Feb 11 2026
    Laurel Atwood thought she was prepared for anything the cutthroat world of Pittsburgh real estate could throw at her, but nothing could ready her for Ford Caldwell. He’s a wild man from the mountains, smelling of pine and ozone, who strides into her pristine office demanding to buy the abandoned Ironworks. His payment? A heavy canvas bag filled with raw, unmined gold, straight from his family’s land. Laurel’s professional walls are up, screaming "scam," but the intensity in Ford's amber eyes and his desperate plea for his dying pack starts to crack her carefully constructed facade.

    Chapter 5: Rain and Silence | Werewolf Romance
    Feb 10 2026
    The city's roar is silenced the moment Ford Caldwell steps into Laurel Atwood’s pristine territory, but the true storm is just beginning. Navigating the polished halls of Golden Triangle Realty, his raw alpha instincts clash with the sterile opulence. The fake pleasantries and "soft" humans are nothing but noise, distractions from the singular, intoxicating scent pulling him deeper – a primal call urging him towards the one woman who holds the key to his pack's survival and threatens to unravel his carefully laid plans.
