Clandestine affair (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liaison

(Other definitions for liaison that I've seen before include "Naughty affair?" , "Sort of officer" , "Usually secretive or illicit relationship" , "Communication between people or organisations" , "Communication between organisations - or an illicit affair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
