Crossword Genius

Story bearing on wild love (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novel

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

'bearing on wild love' is the wordplay.
'bearing' becomes 'n' ().
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'love' is an anagram of 'ovel'.
'n'+'ovel'='NOVEL'

(Other definitions for novel that I've seen before include "Of a kind not seen before" , "Fresh" , "New piece of fiction?" , "Paperback" , "New and intriguing" .)
