When a new heir arrives at Downton Abbey, Rose is shocked to discover it's Matthew Crawley-the boy she grew up with, the one whose heart she broke when she refused his proposal.

How will both worlds react when they learn one of Downton's servants was once the great heir's first love?

Célestine grew up in a palace - the daughter of Marie, lady's maid to the Queen. As children, she and Prince Adam were inseparable. But when the Queen died, the King's cruelty tore everything apart. Marie and her daughter were banished, and Adam was left to be raised by a father who taught him nothing but pride and indifference. Years later, Célestine and her mother have made a quiet life in Villeneuve, living with Maurice and his daughter Belle - Célestine's cousin. The two girls grew up as sisters, dreaming of something beyond their provincial lives. When Marie passes away and Maurice disappears on a journey to the market, Célestine sets out to find him - despite Belle's protests. Her search leads her to a forgotten castle shrouded in snow and silence... a place that feels hauntingly familiar. Inside, she finds a Beast - and a curse that has trapped not just him, but everyone she once knew. Though she cannot quite remember why the place tugs at her heart, one thing is certain: fate has brought her back to where it all began. Pairing: Prince Adam × Célestine (OC) Disclaimer: I only own Célestine. Inspired by the 2017 Beauty and the Beast film.

Rose Crawley (née Carpenter) is a schoolteacher in Manchester, happily married to Matthew Crawley. Their fathers were doctors and close friends, and Rose and Matthew grew up side by side-only two years apart, Matthew born in 1885 and Rose in 1887. By 1912, the couple live a comfortable, content life in Manchester. Matthew works as a solicitor, while their modest home is kept running smoothly with the help of a maid and a cook-though Rose's perfectly capable in the kitchen herself. But when news breaks of the Titanic disaster, everything changes. Days later, a letter arrives informing Matthew that he is now heir to the vast Crawley estate. Overnight, Matthew and Rose-along with his mother, Isobel-are thrust into a world of titles, traditions, and expectations they neither understand nor fully accept. Can love and integrity survive the weight of an unexpected inheritance and the scrutiny of the aristocracy?
