Memory loss and love

No Ordinary Lyon (Lyon’s Den Connected World) by Sherry Ewing     

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Waterloo injured hero, Captain Gideon Tyler, scarred and withdrawn, with memory loss is a common enough trope. 

The woman, Miss Violet  Barnet, a practicing apothecary, is come to London at the behest of her cousin, Patience, a recently married countess. Violet has agreed to look for a possible husband at the Lyon’s Den gambling establishment. Perspective suitors were introduced to her by Mrs. Dove-Lyon. Patience has paid the match makers fee.

Of course there’s a wretched villain who has evil on his mind, and knows our hero Gideon from time spent together in the war. 

I find it hard to get over the pet names the main characters call each other, Sir Knight and Lady Angel. Very twee.
