Lure of the month, to some boys (5)
I believe the answer is:
decoy
'lure' is the definition.
(I know that lure can be written as decoy)
'month to some boys' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'dec' (abbreviation for December).
'to some' says to take the centre.
The central letters of 'boys' are 'oy'.
'dec'+'oy'='DECOY'
'of the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for decoy that I've seen before include "Lure or snare" , "Imitation creature used to attract others" , "Red herring" , "Something used to lure prey into a trap" , "Lure, enticement" .)
