Held Nike back, admitting this would inflame her? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kindle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'would inflame her?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'held nike back admitting' is the wordplay.
'admitting' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'admits' mean this).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'eldnik' is hidden within 'held nike'.
'eldnik' reversed gives 'KINDLE'.

'this' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kindle that I've seen before include "Ignite" , "Set of fire" , "Start to burn" , "reading facilitated by this?" , "Modern book store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
