If she gives you a ring, you’ll hear from her (5)
I believe the answer is:
belle
'her' is the definition.
'if she' is the wordplay.
'if' becomes 'b' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'she' becomes 'elle'.
'b'+'elle'='BELLE'
'gives you a ring you'll hear from' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Attractive woman" , "Reigning beauty" , "Girl who's fetching" , "Beautiful girl" , "dish" .)
