As West, a 2♥ response to partner’s 1♠ overcall would be non forcing. (If partner had overcalled at the two level, however, then 2♥ bid would be a game force.) 3♥ would be an invitational (passable) hand showing 11-13 points with a good 6-card suit. This hand calls for a cuebid of 2♣ and then rebid of 2/3 hearts to show 14+ with his own suit. It is forcing 1 round. Partner assumes you have spade support and bids accordingly. Then when you rebid hearts, partner should realize that you have the other type of hand that a cuebid shows ~ a strong hand with your own suit.
