Love tenet abused in story (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novelette

'story' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'love tenet abused' is the wordplay.
'abused' indicates an anagram.
'love'+'tenet'='lovetenet'
'lovetenet' is an anagram of 'NOVELETTE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for novelette that I've seen before include "romance?" , "Short and light tale" , "Short book of fiction" , "Short work of fiction" , "Short story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
