Temptation to break a rule (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lure

'temptation' is the definition.
(lure is a kind of temptation)

'break a rule' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates an anagram.
'rule' with letters rearranged gives 'LURE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lure that I've seen before include "It's used to attract fish" , "Attract with bait" , "Entice, bait" , "Tempt invoking rule" , "Enticement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
