This isn't a straight romance but supposedly there's a nice romance thread running through the series.
The Hanover Square Affair (Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries) by Ashley Gardner (aka Jennifer Ashley, published by Berkley 2003)
Quote:
London, 1816
Cavalry captain Gabriel Lacey returns to Regency London from the Napoleonic wars, burned out, fighting melancholia, his career ended. His interest is piqued when he learns of a missing girl, possibly kidnapped by a prominent member of Parliament. Lacey's search for the girl leads to the discovery of murder, corruption, and dealings with a leader of the underworld. At the same time, he struggles with his own disorientation transitioning from a soldier's life to the civilian world, redefining his role with his former commanding officer, and making new friends--from the top of society to the street girls of Covent Garden.
