Episode 1: Chapter 1: Laurel | Werewolf Romance
Behind every perfectly coiffed realtor smile, there's a story, and for Laurel Atwood, it’s a daily battle to keep her world from crumbling. Laurel navigates the precise, expensive world of her mother's assisted living facility, where every moment is a calculated cost, and every kind lie is an act of mercy.

But Laurel's biggest challenge isn't just the math; it's the "monster" she’s trying to sell. The abandoned Ohio River Ironworks – a place of ghosts, wild foxes, and a dark family history – is her golden ticket, yet selling it means paving over her father's memory and destroying the last wild heart of the city. She sees a sanctuary in the ruins, but the developers only see luxury condos.

Episode 2: Chapter 2: Ford | Werewolf Romance
Alpha Ford Caldwell hits the grimy city, desperate to save his dying pack. The abandoned Ironworks is their sanctuary, but buying it means playing human games. Realtor Laurel Atwood is his target. He loathes this concrete cage, but for his wolves, he'll burn the city down to claim what's theirs.

Episode 3: Chapter 3: The Wrong Doors | Werewolf Romance
An Alpha from the wild finds the city a brutal maze. Every door slams shut until a fierce scent cuts through the grime: a realtor who smells of mountain rain and home. He came for property, but now he's hunting the storm inside her.

Episode 4: Chapter 4: Laurie | Werewolf Romance
Laurel Atwood might be leaving her true self in the elevator, but "Laurie" is all business, especially when it comes to the monumental Ironworks listing. This isn't just another prime riverfront property; it's a vital link to her past, a lifeline for her ailing mother, and a deal that feels like selling a piece of her soul. In this cutthroat city of suits and skyscrapers, every transaction comes with a heavy price.

Enter Charles "Chip" Sterling, a developer whose charm is as fake as his hard hat, and whose ambition smells like expensive cologne and pure pathology. He wants the Ironworks, not for its history or potential, but to bulldoze it into another soulless luxury development. Laurel despises him, despises what he represents, yet she desperately needs his money to keep her world from crumbling. This impossible choice forces her to don her most impenetrable mask, but even steel can crack under enough pressure.

Episode 5: Chapter 5: Rain and Silence | Werewolf Romance
In a rain-soaked city, an Alpha's hunt leads him to a realtor's sterile office. The silence shatters when he scents his fated mate amidst the honey and rain. The Ironworks ignites their collision: he wants a sanctuary, she wants him gone.

Episode 6: Chapter 6: The Bag of Rocks | Werewolf Romance
When wild Alpha Ford Caldwell storms Laurel Atwood's office with a bag of raw gold, her professional world collides with his untamed ambition. His scent disorients, his proposition is insane, but the sparks flying between them signal a deal far more dangerous than just real estate. She needs him gone, but he's just getting started.

Episode 7: Chapter 7: The Doubt | Werewolf Romance
Laurel Atwood prides herself on her sharp mind and meticulous deals, but one heavy gold nugget is threatening to unravel...

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

A stranger with mud-caked boots and a leather sack of raw gold sits across from Laurel Atwood. He wants to buy the Ironworks. He doesn't flinch at her numbers. He leaves a fortune on her desk—and a single nugget behind—as the walls close in.
