A hiss. A kidnapping. A life forever changed. When they were little, Kahel Edknell Robinson and his only friend, Drake Slater Valentino, were abducted. The aftermath tore them apart. After their rescue, Drake's parents whisked him abroad, leaving Kahel to face his lonely, miserable life on his own. Years later, Drake returns... and barges back into Kahel's world with relentless teasing, showing his affection in the most infuriating ways-whether at school or at Kahel's part-time job. But as Kahel's buried feelings begin to surface, so does a truth he never expected: Drake may be connected to the very nightmare of snakes that has haunted him for years. How will Kahel face the boy he's falling for... when Drake might also be tied to his deepest fear? Language: Taglish Book cover by ALUKA Now published under KPub Ph
