Cover of literature: nameless cover not working? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leisure

'not working?' is the definition.
(leisure time)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for leisure that I've seen before include "R&R" , "Freedom from work" , "Enjoyment of free time" , "Rue lies about rest period" , "Time for relaxing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
