Home care for editor's fiancée (8)
I believe the answer is:
intended
'fiancee' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'home care for editor's' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in'**).
'care for' becomes 'tend' (I've seen this before).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'in'+'tend'+'ed'='INTENDED'
(Other definitions for intended that I've seen before include "The boyfriend" , "wanted from the outset" , "Set out" , "no mistake!" , "Person engaged" .)
