Devoted couple devil robs cruelly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lovebirds

'devoted couple' is the definition.
(couple in love)

'devil robs cruelly' is the wordplay.
'cruelly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'devil'+'robs'='devilrobs'
'devilrobs' with letters rearranged gives 'LOVEBIRDS'.

(Other definitions for lovebirds that I've seen before include "Small African parrots or romantic couples" , "Small African parrots or romantic couple" , "Affectionate parrots" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
