And then he turned art into life, beyond his wildest imaginings.Taking the Bait by P.A FridaySometimes, the best way to get what you want is to lay out the bait and wait for someone to take it - in this case, a pretty boy who's willing to be led through the evening streets with a makeshift leash around his neck, prepared to do whatever you ask of him...Kissing the Gunner's Daughter by Beverly LanglandFalsely accused of stealing, Midshipman George Ludlow suffers a degrading flogging and is put ashore in Antigua.
