Female consumed by a fine romance (6)
I believe the answer is:
affair
'romance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'female consumed by a fine' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'consumed by' is an insertion indicator.
'fine' becomes 'fair' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'fair'='afair'
'f' put inside 'afair' is 'AFFAIR'.
(Other definitions for affair that I've seen before include "Liaison or intrigue" , "Happening" , "River dam" , "Amorous liaison" , "A matter, perhaps of love" .)
