Time Traveler romance books

He crossed centuries to find her — or she crossed them to find him.

The time-traveler hero turns love into something that defies the calendar. Whether he's been flung forward into a baffling future or the heroine has tumbled back into his past, the romance is charged with the wonder and ache of a love that shouldn't be possible across the gulf of time. The fantasy is destiny itself — two people drawn together against the impossible logic of when they were born.

He's a beloved fixture of time-travel and paranormal romance, from Highlanders meeting modern women to lovers separated by centuries. He overlaps with the fish-out-of-water and time-displaced types, and the romance often turns on the heartbreaking question of which time they can build a life in. The heat ranges widely with the era.

For readers who love destiny, wonder, and a love that conquers time itself, the time traveler is romance at its most sweeping.
