Outlander
"Outlander," published by Diana Gabaldon in 1991, follows Claire Randall, a married World War II combat nurse who is mysteriously transported back through time to 18th-century Scotland, where she falls in love with Highland warrior James "Jamie" Fraser. Gabaldon's genre-blending approach, combining historical fiction, time travel, adventure, and romance in a single sprawling narrative, was unusual for the romance category at the time and helped the novel find success across multiple readerships beyond traditional romance fans. The novel launched what became a long-running book series spanning multiple decades and installments, and its 2014 television adaptation on Starz brought Gabaldon's story to a substantially wider mainstream audience than the books alone had reached. Outlander's combination of Gabaldon's genre-blending historical time-travel premise and its sustained multi-decade book series success has made it one of the most commercially significant romance novels of the modern era.

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.
