Danger adds thrills #newromance

I love my romances with a bit of danger. When someone might become kidnapped or when an ex is after the heroine, it amps up the tension in the story. I become excited to see how the hero keeps the heroine safe. 

Elsa Winckler's latest release PROTECTING LINDSAY, features a steamy romance with just the right amount of danger. In PROTECTING LINDSAY, the heroine has a determined ex who travels from South Africa to the US, hoping to plead his case and change her mind. Luckily for our plucky heroine, there's a strong hero to keep her safe... if only she'd let him.

Blurb:
How does he protect his heart while protecting her?

Lindsay Wilson simply wants to concentrate on her shop where she sells her own mixtures of creams and essential oils. What she doesn’t want is the seriously sexy Blake Davidson hell-bent on protecting her from the abusive boyfriend who followed her to Montana all the way from South Africa. To add to her frustration, he makes her feel things she’s never felt before but she’s made a mistake in the past, can she trust her instincts this time?

Blake lost two people before because he couldn’t protect them, so what’s different this time with Lindsay? From the moment he’s laid eyes on her, all his instincts have been telling him to make sure nothing happens to her so he has no choice but to move into her place and keep her safe. But what about his own heart?

EXCERPT:
For the first time, she really looked at him. Oh, my. He’d grown a beard since she’d last seen him. She’d never liked beards, but on this tall, dark, and ridiculously attractive guy, it only added to his smoldering good looks.


Grinding her teeth to make sure her jaw wouldn’t drop, she turned away. “So, which essential oils are you interested in buying today?”


Here she was, a grown woman, just about salivating because a gorgeous man was in her shop. Maybe she should seriously begin to think about dating again. “There is an essential oil for just about every problem you may have. Suzie’s husband, for instance…” The minute the words left her mouth, Lindsay nearly groaned out loud. Normally, she kept clients’ issues completely confidential, but Suzie had already let that cat way out of the bag. Even so, why talk about Suzie’s bedroom problem, of all things, while she was talking to Blake?


“I don’t have problems in the bedroom.” His voice was as smooth as Tennessee whiskey.


Lindsay closed her eyes for a minute. He didn’t have to tell her that; one look at his broad shoulders, square jaw, and confident stride made it clear he was all man and… Oh, my goodness, the very last thing she should be thinking about was Blake and bedrooms.


“Okay, so maybe something for your beard?” Why didn’t she simply shut up? She motioned to one of the shelves. “I make a very nice oil with lavender, peppermint, lemon, and coconut oil. You should try it.”


“I don’t…” he began gruffly, before he swore softly and took out his wallet. “Okay, give me the damn oil.”

PROTECTING LINDSAY is now available in ebook and print. It's a standalone romance but also a part of a series featuring the sassy friends, Charlie, Lindsay and Brooke. You won't want to miss out on any of the shenanigans.

​ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during her English Honours studies, she was hooked for life.
She married her college boyfriend and soul mate and after 46 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 4 beautiful grandchildren, they are now fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa.
She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.
