   Summary

   Lochlan Ratliff's defected from his life as the youngest son of a wealthy family.

   He's run to the edge of the continent, to the slum by the sea known as Venice Beach. There, he's an anonymous drifter, a coffeehouse poet. A queer sucking cock.

   His older brother Saxon is in town to hunt him down, to save him from scandal and bring him home.

   If Saxon doesn't lose himself first.
