'here?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'passion about right' is the wordplay.
'passion' becomes 'heat' (synonyms).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'heat' placed around 'r' is 'HEART'.
