Lover — fire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flame

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'fire' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for flame that I've seen before include "Evidence of fire" , "Send a rude message" , "Sweetheart" , "object of one's affection" , "abusive comment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
