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 12: The Risk | Werewolf Romance
    Feb 19 2026
    Laurel Atwood just walked into the lion's den. Her boss, Robert, is demanding answers about the Ohio River Ironworks deal, and the "verbal commitment" from Ford Caldwell is about as solid as river mist. With the corrupt developer, Sterling, circling like a vulture, Laurel has one shot to buy time for the Appalachian Alpha's unconventional offer. But telling the truth about a man who pays with raw gold nuggets might just get her fired, and cost Ford his sanctuary.

    Chapter 11: The City's Wounds | Werewolf Romance
    Feb 18 2026
    Even an Alpha can wake up cold, hungry, and alone in a city designed to break down the weak. Struggling to survive on the brutal streets, Ford observes the city's forgotten, the packless strays, and the human "jackals" who feast on their despair. His mission demands he remain a ghost, but when ancient wolf instincts collide with the casual cruelty of predators, Ford is forced to choose between anonymity and an act of raw, protective power that reverberates through the concrete canyons.
