Isle of romance? (3)

I believe the answer is:

man

'isle' is the definition.
(the Isle of Man is an example)

'of romance?' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MAN' is hidden within 'romance'.

(Other definitions for man that I've seen before include "Adult human male" , "-- Friday" , "Provide with crew" , "The most destructive and polluting animal" , "Geezer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
