You and me and Diana Gabaldon, Erica [g]. She spent *years* insisting that her books weren't romance, until she found out how well romance sells, then said, sure, call it what you want.
And I don't consider my Time in Yellowstone books to be romance. Yes, each of the three books has a romance in it, but that's not the primary story. Still, when I added romance to my Amazon categories I think it increased my sales. Slightly (not that my sales aren't miniscule to begin with).
You might also want to consider the RWA Rita award category of "books with romantic elements." That may be where your books belong. That's sort of where I think my TiY books fit.
