In the first in Tracy Sumner’s sizzling
League of Lords historical series, mysticism and paranormal abilities in
Victorian England set the stage for a captivating love affair...
He’s a viscount with a dark past who yearns for the one woman he can’t have. She’s a psychic firebrand. Rebellious, spurned by society and determined to change his mind.
What’s a defiant woman to do when the man she’s meant for doesn’t believe in love?
After three years of waiting for Julian Alexander to realize they are destined to be together, Lady Piper Scott takes matters into her own hands. Because her gift as a healer has never done anything but distance her from the most principled man in England. A meaningless diversion as a medium, all done to gain a certain wandering viscount’s attention, backfires. As most endeavors have for a woman known in the ton as Scandalous Scott.
What’s a reluctant viscount to do when the woman he can’t have becomes the woman he can’t live without?
Julian Alexander, Lord Beauchamp, battled his way from the lowliest slum to assume his title. He carries not only a turbulent past, but a mystical psychic gift that separates him from society. Honorable to his core, he is committed to protecting a community of outcasts with abilities like his own. He has no time, no place, for love. Or repeatedly rescuing the most outrageous, beguiling woman he’s ever known. Even if she needs his protection most—and he desires her above all others.
Seduction, intrigue and desire lead to an explosive passion…
Julian vowed to shield Piper from the deadly foes seeking to possess her powerful gift. Although he needs her help in controlling his own, the mix could be deadly. Soon what was once a simple agreement to work together becomes enchantingly complex as they surrender to a timeless love…

My thoughts:
The Lady is Trouble is the first book in the League of Lords series. It's a a historical romance with a paranormal twist. This one is Julian and Piper's story. Julian is working to provide a sanctuary for people like him and Piper. People with paranormal abilities. There is a dark force that is hunting Piper and Julian will do everything he can to protect her. I liked Julian and Piper together. Julian does spend most of the book trying to deny that Piper is his perfect match and that she actually helps him and his ability. He could be a bit frustrating at times.
I did end up enjoying the book in the end. However, it did take me a while to get into the book. I felt like I was dropped into the middle of a TV series and had to catch up with no background. References were made to things that happened pre-book, but they were not very fleshed out. I will admit to being confused at times. By mid-book, I pretty much had things figured out and just went with it. I did like the narrator. I am looking forward to listening to the next book. It's Finn's story, I believe.
