Crossword Genius

The attraction of rule-breaking (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lure

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

'rule-breaking' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'rule' is an anagram of 'LURE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for lure that I've seen before include "'Entice, tempt (4)'" , "Enticement" , "Tempt with bait" , "Tempt invoking rule" , "Attraction" .)
