Perhaps something like travelling through time? Actually, the "time travel" novel is a specific sub-genre of romance. There are plenty of them out there. Probably the best example would be Jude Devereaux's "A Knight in Shining Armour" (maybe it's Armor), a book which I would recommend to ANYone, not just romance fans. It's a wonderful and entertaining story with lot of comedy and romance. :) Generally, though, in the time travel genre you don't have too much focus put on the means of moving through time. It's some ancient magic spell or a prayer or stepping through a fairy ring or something of that sort. Sometimes they just get conked on the head and wake up in a different time... bonni (yes, I know a lot about romance novels ;-)
