I&#8217;ve always had an interest in fashion and love clothes and for me there is just something magical about the sheerness, the layers, the way a tule skirt falls around your body. I wish I had the shutzpah to wear it! When the idea of a story set in small town somewhere in Montana popped into my head, the character of Charlie, dressed in a tule skirt, was the first character to announce herself. Putting the straight-laced Logan in the same room with her created immediate sparks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoy Charlie and Logan&#8217;s story as much as I&#8217;ve enjoyed writing it. This is Book 1 in a new series called Unexpected love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/elsawinckler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/KissingCharlie-Ebook-medium-1-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1698\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elsawinckler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/KissingCharlie-Ebook-medium-1-2.jpeg 427w, https:\/\/elsawinckler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/KissingCharlie-Ebook-medium-1-2-200x300.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><figcaption>Kissing Charlie<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>One Kiss Will Change Their Lives Forever<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowen therapist Charlie Wilson is not interested in men or relationships.

You\u2019re obviously in on the deal. So let me be perfectly clear\u2014I\u2019m not in the market for a wife. So this whole\u201d\u2014angrily, he motioned with his hand\u2014\u201ccharade, was all in vain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her eyes widened and she caught her breath before she burst out laughing. Stunned, he could only stare. She laughed with utter abandon. Her whole body took part\u2014blue eyes twinkled, the bangles on her arms jingled, even her hair was bouncing merrily to the sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gnashed his teeth. \u201cIt\u2019s not funny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She let out another giggle before she finally managed to gulp in her laugh. But her eyes were still filled with mirth. \u201cI assure you, sir, getting married is so not something I\u2019m interested in. I\u2019m very happy with my life. You don\u2019t have to worry that I have designs\u2026\u201d Another giggle erupted before she quickly composed her face. \u201cDrink lots of water when you get home and don\u2019t do any other strenuous exercises. And do give my best to your mother. She is a such lovely person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He didn\u2019t miss the slight emphasis on \u201cshe.\u201d As Charlie spoke, she walked toward the door and opened it widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that should have been that. He should have walked out, gotten into his car, and driven away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, his feet moved purposefully toward her. Again, her eyes widened, but this time it was in alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d she asked warily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have no idea,\u201d he said, getting the words out somehow before he bent his head. The smell of roses hit him again, seeped through his skin, and heated his blood. His lips simply had to test the texture of her skin. For a millisecond, his mouth touched her temple. Petals. Satin. Soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buy Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AMAZON:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JM9V246\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JM9V246<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KOBO:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/kissing-charlie\">https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/kissing-charlie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BN:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/books\/1140374775\">https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/books\/1140374775<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>APPLE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/id1590710787\">https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/id1590710787<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please follow me on social media &#8211; I love hearing from readers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social media links:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Webpage:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elsawinckler.com\/\">https:\/\/elsawinckler.com<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal Facebook page:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/elsa.winckler<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author Facebook page:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ElsaWincklerRomanceAuthor?ref_type=bookmark<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/elsawinckler<\/a>&nbsp;@elsawinckler&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodreads:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/6557709.Elsa_Winckler<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinterest:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/elsawinckler\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookbub:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/profile\/elsa-winckler<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wattpad:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">http:\/\/www.wattpad.com\/user\/elsaw1<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href=\"about:blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elsaw1\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s release day for Kissing Charlie &#8211; thanks so much to Melissa Keir and Inkspell Publishing for publishing this story.
