Ask for it (The Georgian series) by Sylvia Day. Period: 1770 (maybe to early?) Brave woman, handsom man and an elite organization of spies.

Try Karen Robards. she has written some historical romance novels

You have got to read Stephanie Laurens' Cynster Sisters books - they definitely fit your parameters.

The titles are: Viscount Beckinridge to the Rescue
The Pursuit of Eliza Cynster
The Capture of the Earl of Glencoe
And Then She Fell
The Taming of Ryder Cavanaugh

Any of the others of the Cynsters series would also include strong heroines, most of which are debutantes with minds of their own.
