Guess the books

I was bored one day, and started taking book titles and/or fairy tales, mixing the plots and coming up with my own retelling of them. Here are two synopsis, can you guess what books I based them off of?

Kitty soon discovers that there may be a spark of human kindness in Mr. Craven's dark soul. He did not need any servants at all. Ivy Park, has never been opened up. Mr. Craven prefers to stay in the hunting lodge. He never has any visitors, he rarely goes visiting. Can Kitty discover the mystery of Ivy Park and find happiness? Or is she doomed to be a maid forever?

Synopsis 2
