Money. A seven-letter, two-syllable word. They say "Money makes the world go round", but in Pecunia, the saying goes a much, much longer way. The Rich and Poor are separated into distinct castes; the Rich are treated with respect and dignity, while the Poor are seen with contempt and disdain. Too bad Skye isn't considered one of the richest people in Pecunia. Skye Jackson is a girl living in this pragmatic society, Having an alcoholic mother as her only kith and kin, she struggles to survive in a community where the motto is: 'No money, no talk'. So when she crosses paths with the son of a wealthy businessman, Skye takes a peek into the world of the Rich and discover that maybe there is more to the Rich than just the thick wad of dollar bills in the pockets of their tailored suits.

OBSESSION'S DESIGN
One look was all it took. Luna never noticed the man watching her from the shadows of that hospital corridor-but he saw everything. The way she smiled at the nurse, the fear in her eyes when she entered the exam room, the soft kindness in her voice. In that moment, he decided: she would be his. But Luna's world crumbled when the results came back. A rare, life-threatening condition. One chance of survival-a bone marrow transplant from a donor who refused to help. Desperate, Luna searched for answers, unaware that every road led back to him. The illness. The rejection. Even the donor file "accidentally" left behind. All of it was his design. Because he didn't want to save her. He wanted to own her. As Luna fights to survive, she discovers the truth: she isn't dying. She was never sick. And the only thing growing inside her... are his children. She thought she needed a cure. What she really needs-is to escape. ---Complete
