Welcome to the Swype House—home of the internet’s hottest influencers, and the drama that comes with them.

The rules are simple:

Smile for the cameras.

Fake it for the views.

Try not to kill each other.

It felt like an easy yes when I was invited to change my bio from, “Kaia Blakely, college student,” to “Kaia Blakely, newest influencer at the Swype House.”

Then I met Declan Royce. His profile highlights his looks and his humor, but it ought to read, “Owner of an ego so large, it was given its own zip code.”

Suddenly, not killing each other feels like an impossible task.

So yes, it was death threats we were whispering in the background of that viral video, not sweet nothings. So no, there’s zero reason to keep the #Kailan hashtag trending.

Except that it’s our job. So it looks like we’re adding another rule to the list:

Deliver the performance of a lifetime so no one discovers the truth.

Influenced is a full-length, stand-alone novel. Perfect for readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers, fake relationship, and forced proximity romance.
