Crossword Genius

A sweetheart possibly glowing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aflame

'glowing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a sweetheart' is the wordplay.
'sweetheart' becomes 'flame' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'flame'='AFLAME'

'possibly' is the link.

(Other definitions for aflame that I've seen before include "Ardent" , "very hot" , "fired up?" , "Ablaze" , "Ma, flea could be burning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
