'stunt' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'husband caught in a little deception' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'caught in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a little' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this before).
'deception' becomes 'lie' (I've seen this in other clues).
'h' put within 'wee' is 'whee'.
'whee'+'lie'='WHEELIE'

'offers' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wheelie that I've seen before include "Rider's trick" , "Type of bin" , "Bike trick" , "Cyclist's feat" , "riding skill" .)
