The Lady Chosen by Stephanie Laurens

This is part of the Bastion Club series by this author. This historical romance series involves aristocratic men who are all ex-soldiers. I love her detective-type hero. Very reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes - if Sherlock Holmes was interested in sex too. I liked reading about the network of ex-soldiers and how they put their skills to work in a different setting. Again, great characters & great romance. I'm just so happy to find an author that gives me both my romance fix and my mystery fix. Tristan was yummy. I loved the dithering yet crafty little old ladies, the shadowy figures, and complicated villain's plans.
