Isabella Ruth-Ann Wilton, heiress to the Wilton Estates and Manors and semi-citizen of Britain and the British West Indies: belonged in a quite peculiar predicament. Her father just might be dead and without his protection, she just might have to flee everything she's ever known in the Western Isle and take refuge in the cutthroat, 1820, English society.
Duke William Cavendish, The 6th Duke of Devonshire, is the fully British sire of one of the oldest, most powerful duchies in all of England. With this power, comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes a generally unbearable gentleman of a Duke.
In Bella's time of trouble, she is sent to live with the cold, chilling and calculating Duke as per her father's orders. However, when these two personalities collide in a flurry of sexual attraction, sinful temptation with an unsolved mystery as to who leaked the evidence of treason against Lord Wilton and ultimately cause his death; will Lady Bella and Duke Cavendish succumb to the burning magnetism that consumes them both, or will Lady Bella allow society to dictate exactly what a woman of her colour should and should naught do?
In a world where love and race are challenged by each other; and sexual attraction does not always lead to affection, will the odds be in one's favour or will one leave England with a broken heart?

Under A Moonlit Sky | Thomas Barrow
A Downton Abbey fanfic In the winter of 1898, a mysterious bundle is left on the steps of Downton Abbey-an infant girl of Chinese heritage, swaddled in silk and with no clue to her origins beyond a jade pendant tucked into her blanket. Moved by compassion, Lord and Lady Grantham adopt the child and name her Antea Li Crawley, raising her alongside their own daughters as the youngest Crawley girl. Despite whispers in the village and the rigid expectations of Edwardian society, Antea grows into a poised and brilliant young woman, deeply loyal to her family and determined to find her place in a world that never quite knows what to make of her. By 1917, as the First World War casts its long shadow across England, Downton Abbey has been converted into a convalescent home. Now nineteen, Antea trains as a nurse under her strong-willed sister Sybil, tending to wounded soldiers with grace and tenacity. Amid the chaos of war, she finds an unlikely ally in Thomas Barrow, the wounded footman turned medical orderly, who has returned to Downton after taking a bullet to the back of his hand on the front lines. Antea and Thomas-both outsiders in their own ways-strike up a tentative friendship, bound by long shifts, whispered confessions, and shared cigarettes in the cold night air. As months become years, their bond deepens. In a house built on tradition and appearances, Antea's quiet defiance and Thomas's guarded vulnerability slowly open something neither expected: the possibility of love. But with social expectations, personal demons, and secrets that refuse to stay buried, both Antea and Thomas must face whether their connection can truly survive in a world that may never accept them-let alone allow them to be together.Complete
