He's found in the romantic lead (4)
I believe the answer is:
hero
'lead' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'he's found in the romantic' is the wordplay.
'HERO' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "chap we revere" , "Lover of Leander" , "Person renowned for bravery" , "priestess of Aphrodite" , "Man of great courage and deeds" .)
