A desire troubled beloved people (7)

I believe the answer is:

dearies

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

'beloved people' is the definition.
'dearies' can be an answer for 'people' (deary is a kind of person). I'm not certain of the 'beloved' bit.

'a desire troubled' is the wordplay.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'desire'='adesire'
'adesire' with letters rearranged gives 'DEARIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
