Woman tempted the night before (3)
I believe the answer is:
eve
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'woman tempted' is the first definition.
'the night before' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "One from Genesis" , "Later in the day, in short" , "Girl" , "Day before (an event)" , "Day before Christmas" .)
