Social Media Influencer: To build her dream, she must steal theirs; Her perfect life is a beautiful

Celine Watanabe is a digital empress, an influencer whose serene posts from across Asia have built a global empire of devoted followers. She is an aspirational dream, a fortress of light built to hide the ghosts of a traumatic past-a past of poverty in Manila, of homelessness in Canada, of desperate choices made in the shadows.

Her new life seems perfect until she promotes a "can't-miss" cryptocurrency called Richcoin. When the coin is revealed as a massive scam, her world shatters. The adoration of her followers turns into a global firestorm of hate, leaving her reputation in tatters and her spirit broken.

But her public disgrace is only the beginning.

As she tries to rebuild, a powerful, grieving man from a past she thought she had buried emerges with an impossible accusation: a mysterious "sickness of joy" is afflicting his wife, erasing her happiest memories, and he believes Celine is the cause. What begins as a threat soon becomes a terrifying reality, as Celine discovers her own ability to influence is powered by a dark, supernatural curse.

Her perfect life is a beautiful lie. The truth is a devastating curse.

Hunted by a man who will stop at nothing to expose her, and haunted by the power she can't control, Celine must turn to Kenji-her enigmatic protector and the keeper of her deepest secrets. But Kenji's protection comes at a cost she can't imagine, a sacrifice hidden in the slow erasure of his own past.

To build her dream, she must steal theirs.

A gripping and emotionally devastating journey into the dark heart of influencer culture, The Social Media Influencer is a story of secrets, sacrifice, and the terrifying price of a perfect life. Can Celine unravel the truth of her curse without destroying herself and the one man who has given everything to protect her?
