Customers having a change of heart in Cowes (5)
I believe the answer is:
coves
'cowes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coves that I've seen before include "Small bays, fellows" , "Sheltered bays" .)
