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 8: The Hunger | Werewolf Romance
    Feb 13 2026
    What happens when the wild wolf meets the concrete jungle and his survival instincts clash with modern society? Displaced Alpha Ford Caldwell finds himself starving in the heart of a city that doesn't understand his currency—or his nature. Gold nuggets are useless when you need a burger, and the refined laws of the forest don't apply when your stomach is screaming for sustenance in a grimy alleyway.

    Ford faces a harrowing choice between starvation and succumbing to the primal urges of the wolf within. As the city lights mock his desperation, he must confront what it truly means to survive when all his traditions and instincts are rendered obsolete. The lines between man and beast blur in a desperate act, leaving him with a shameful fullness and a stark realization: the city is changing him.
