One-Eyed Jack by Casper1066

Summary
The year is 1947. A chance encounter at Penn Station leaves the beautiful Carol Aird breathless and thirsting for another glimpse of a mysterious, disembarking female passenger. But all the stranger leaves behind is one elegant leather glove. Yet things are not what they seem in this puzzling setting: A change-up of relationships. A vengeful first wife. An angry, petulant stepson. A daughter whose true parentage hangs in the balance. A curious death of a second wife. And an estranged middle child who may or may not be the true heiress to the Aird fortune.
‘One-Eyed Jack’ is a multi-chapter romantic mystery with a dash of the forbidden taboo. Be prepared for deception, double-crossing, and instantaneous attraction– a love-at-first-sight moment.
But the story also questions: Who do we fall in love with and why? In the end, does it matter?

Summary
1948. What happens when the truth hits that half of a life has lived an elaborate lie, one necessitated by a vast fortune? How does one cope when the job for which one has trained eventually ends? Life should be grand! But ghosts from Therese’s past haunt her present, and threaten to upend a happily-ever-after future.
Despite a complex relationship and a discovered switch in identity, Therese and Carol’s love perseveres. But after a joyous reunion, a weight begins to descend. A conversation. An unusual setting. A moody, angsty Therese and a devoted Carol examine events leading to one woman’s run to escape her destiny. Revelations will unnerve them; unraveling secrets will certainly frustrate.
‘Queen of Hearts’ is a multi-chapter sequel to ‘One-Eyed Jack.’ A forgotten room. A conversation over the course of a day and evening. Memories come unbidden– a recounting of the past weeks through our characters’ eyes. Is unconditional love the cure for everything?

Summary
A look into Carol and Therese's lives together post-Oak Room.
This mostly takes place in the movie-verse, but I like to think I've taken some influences from the book, too.
Excerpt: 'Carol Aird wasn’t the stoic, put together person she had once appeared to be. Yes, she was a force of nature to be reckoned with, and that would never change. But she had willingly shown her vulnerable side – opened the flood gates – and now Therese could see the extent of the ocean inside of her. She wanted to throw herself in, to anchor herself at the bottom and remain there forever, surrounded by her presence.'

Summary
AU: Set in modern NYC.
Therese is not the kind of girl that brings someone back for a one night stand – that is, until she meets a sexy stranger whose shiny blonde hair and piercing blue eyes catches more than her eye. A story charged with lust and passion that struggles with painful realities and indecision. Will our lovers survive the emotional turmoil that they try so desperately to keep hidden?
A lot of smut, some angst and maybe … possibly ... love at the end?

Summary
A modern AU set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Expect a bit of a slow burn (and a rollercoaster of emotions). See an excerpt below:
Suddenly, she came to the horrible realisation that this was it. She was really leaving, alone, her life condensed into a single backpack and a small suitcase, the only one she'd ever owned. She imagined Richard’s set lips and furrowed brow outside the window, his disapproving eyes watching her every move, watching her leave. She imagined him shrinking with the skyline until he became a tiny speck; a piece of dust she could blow away.
York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh... It was really happening, wasn't it? Therese fished frantically for the train ticket in her pocket. Edinburgh, single, one-way. There was no return from this.
