Multan, Pakistan. A conservative city where an unmarried woman over the age of twenty-five is considered a curse by her family.
Ayesha is twenty-seven. Independent and happily single, she has evaded an arranged marriage because of her family's reduced circumstances. When she catches the eye of powerful, wealthy Raza, it seems like the answer to her parents' prayers. But Ayesha is in love with someone else, and when she refuses to give up on him, Raza resorts to unthinkable revenge…
Ayesha travels to London to rebuild her life and there she meets Kamil, an emotionally damaged man who has demons of his own. They embark on a friendship that could mean salvation for both of them, but danger stalks Ayesha in London, too. With her life thrown into turmoil, she is forced to make a decision that could change her and everyone she loves forever.
Exquisitely written, populated by unforgettable characters and rich with poignant, powerful themes, Someone Like Her is a story of love and family, of corruption and calamity, of courage and hope … and one woman's determination to thwart convention and find peace, at whatever cost…

    A Holocaust story as fascinating and compelling as it is terrifying and puzzling—a book about aging and war crimes, pain and pride. 
     
     
     
    In the middle of summer, omnipresent heat radiates as a group of elderly people are remembering their youth. The story focuses on two sisters, Leokadia and Helena, who live together in a retirement home not far from Warsaw. These are not ordinary stories they are sharing because both of them were imprisoned as children in Auschwitz during World War II. At the center is Helena, who at the age of twelve was saved from extermination by the notorious doctor Josef Mengele, the real-life Nazi officer and physician who was known as the "angel of death" for the experiments he conducted on prisoners, including twins and siblings. 
     
     
     
    This is a story both provocative and disturbing about the fear that lingers in victims. Was the sisters' relationship with the executioner a desperate attempt to save their lives, or perhaps they harbor a hideous pride and sense of superiority over other prisoners? Rudzka's extraordinary writing turns unsettling questions about memory and survival into art.

    Renata Richardson thought her dream summer job on a Mediterranean beach would be the just escape she needed. Instead, she becomes the target of a brutal attack by a group of wealthy businessmen, handpicked for their money and power. But Renata isn’t just another victim—they picked the wrong girl.After the local police turn a deaf ear to her report, Renata is fueled by rage and determined to mete out her own version of justice. And the hunt begins. She tracks down the private jet that delivered the men to the island, sneaking a look at the flight logs during a control tower tour to identify the plane. Armed with the pilot’s name, she begins to track down him and those who participated in the attack. This leads to a deadly, globetrotting spree of revenge, where Renata uses small, memorized details from the assault—a pinkie ring, a mole, an unusual voice—to make sure she’s never wrong about her target.Each man leads her to the next, and she cleverly finds a way to gain access to each one, using false identities and even disguises. As she works her way up the chain, she knows the real prize is still out there: the mastermind who orchestrated it all for an obscene amount of money, giving instructions while he watched the horrific crime unfold.But Renata isn’t the only one in pursuit. An FBI agent is soon hot on her heels, determined to bring her down before she can complete her mission. The tension builds as Renata races against time—can she track down every last one of them and catch the mastermind before the agent catches her? Will she get away with her vengeance, or will justice catch up with her first?Renata’s Revenge is a taut, high-octane thriller packed with clever twists, meticulous planning, and heart-pounding suspense. Perfect for fans of strong female leads and relentless justice.Note: The premise for this fictional story is based on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficking scandal.
