I just finished reading the epic of Nora Roberts, The Circle Trilogy. It includes: Morrigan's Cross, The Dance of the gods, and The Valley of Silence.
My favorite is the last book because of the love story in it. It's largely an epic, but I'm going to focus on the love story between Cian and Moira because it was heartbreaking.
The Circle trilogy is named so because of the circle of people who make up the leading forces of the war between humans and vampires. Ironically, one member of this circle is a vampire himself, Cian. Despite what he is, he chooses to fight beside the five other members: Hoyt (Cian's twin brother), Glenna, Blair, Larkin and Moira. Basically, the epic narrates how and why the circle was formed, how the circle rallies the people to fight, the bonds that'll get them through the war, and finally the war itself.
First book's love story was between Hoyt and Glenna. The second was between Blair and Larkin. And the last, is between Moira and Cian. I made a video of their relationship. It's my first video ever, and I think from now on I'm going to make vids like this where I cast an actor for a character in the future books I read.
Here you go:

Tears stung her eyes again. "Your heart may be still, but it isn't empty. It isn't silent because it speaks to me."
