Gone with the Wind
"Gone with the Wind," published by Margaret Mitchell in 1936, follows Scarlett O'Hara, the headstrong daughter of a Georgia plantation owner, through the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, centered on her tumultuous relationship with the roguish Rhett Butler. The novel was Mitchell's only published book during her lifetime, and it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1937, becoming one of the best-selling novels of all time and one of the most commercially successful books in American publishing history. The novel's 1939 film adaptation became one of the highest-grossing films of all time when adjusted for inflation, further cementing the story's place in American popular culture, though both the book and film have also drawn significant and ongoing criticism for their romanticized depiction of the antebellum South and slavery. Gone with the Wind's combination of Mitchell's sole Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and its status as one of the best-selling books in American history has made it one of the most commercially significant, if historically contested, romance novels ever published.

Twilight
"Twilight," published by Stephenie Meyer in 2005 as her debut novel, follows teenager Bella Swan after she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington and falls in love with Edward Cullen, a vampire who has resisted drinking human blood for decades. The novel became a publishing phenomenon, spawning a bestselling four-book series and helping ignite a broader mid-2000s wave of paranormal young-adult romance fiction that significantly reshaped the YA publishing category for years afterward. Meyer has said the initial idea for the novel came to her in a vivid dream about a human girl and a vampire in a meadow, and she wrote the first draft in only about three months before securing a publishing deal. Twilight's combination of its dream-inspired origin story and its outsized role igniting the mid-2000s paranormal romance publishing wave has made it one of the most commercially influential romance novels of the 21st century.
