Is fantasy/sci-fi out of the question?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately I have already, I'm looking for perhaps newer fiction or books that are not so well-known

Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series is really good. They can be fairly explicit, but they aren't erotica. There's an overarching storyline across the entire series (which is not done yet), but every book focuses on a different couple.
The world building is kind of a mix of fantasy (shifters, psychic powers, etc.) and sfi-fi (heavy use of tech).
It does often use the 'virgin' trope (I know that's a deal breaker for some people), however it's just as often men as it is women, and is fairly necessary due to the mythology of the world.
She also has another series that I also love. Her Guild Hunter series is angels and vampires, doesn't use the dreaded trope, and has about the same ratio and level of explicitness.

Some classic great love stories - Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz and Rebeca by Daphne du Maurier.
And also the amazing book is Random Acts of Heroic Love. Recommend them all!
