Time-travel romance focuses on romantic love and includes an element of time travel.
Jude Deveraux's A Knight in Shining Armor is one of the best known time-travel romance novels,[4] famous for the lack of a happy ending.
Time-travel romance settings may vary, from a present-day character sent back to the past, as in Binding Vows by Catherine Bybee, or with a character from the past sent forward to the future, as in several books in the Highlander series by Karen Marie Moning.
Although the focus of time-travel romance is the love story between the characters, there is always some mechanism of science fiction or magic involved to facilitate travel through time.
Examples of authors specializing in this genre include Diana Gabaldon, Catherine Bybee, Karen Marie Moning, and Susanna Kearsley.
