Read the short and sexy 5-star story readers are raving about.

“Touching Wood by Claire Wilder literally took me 45 minutes to devour… and devour I did.” – Coffee and the Bibliophile

“… maybe don’t read it while you’re in line for groceries or anything, because those steamy scenes are *fans self* hoo boy…” – Angela, Goodreads reviewer

“Wow! Only a couple pages into this novella and I was already smiling.” – Sydney, Goodreads reviewer

OPHELIA: My favorite client is the gruff, sexy carpenter I speak with on the phone every day. Talking to Logan is easy–we’re basically best friends. But that’s all we can ever be.

LOGAN: I’m a man of simple pleasures. I love a mug of piping hot coffee on my porch. The curl of wood under my plane. A woman I’ve never actually met. And can never have.

Touching wood is a slow burn, friends to lovers short, for fans of Pam and Jim (The Office), but with steam. 

This story is a complete standalone but can be considered a prequel to the Jewel Lakes Series. 

This steamy short read is available as a free download when you sign-up for my Wilder Women newsletter. This book is not sold individually in stores.
