Don
The average romance reader would just call it a "historical romance"...or maybe even a "Regency romance", if that's the right timeframe. I mean, "Loving a Lost Lord" is kind of a clue it's a romance, right?

And while the paranormal romance subgenre is full of vampires, werewolves, were-tigers (and various other manner of were-creatures), witches, angels, demons, zombies...so far, "Lord" in a romance generally refers to British aristocracy.
