First lady's accepting fine and summons (6)
I believe the answer is:
evokes
'summons' is the definition.
(evoking is a kind of summoning)
'first lady's accepting fine' is the wordplay.
'first lady's' becomes 'eve's' (first woman in the Bible).
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are accepted).
'fine' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'eves' enclosing 'ok' is 'EVOKES'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for evokes that I've seen before include "Calls up from memory" , "Calls up, say memories" , "Brings to mind" , "Elicits (a response)" , "Calls to mind" .)
