Loving deep novel that's coming out (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

developing

'coming out' is the definition.
(develop can mean to emerge or come out)

'loving deep novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' is an anagram indicator (letters in a new or novel order).
'loving'+'deep'='lovingdeep'
'lovingdeep' with letters rearranged gives 'DEVELOPING'.

'that's' is the link.

(Another definition for developing that I've seen is " Converting (open land) to buildings".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
