End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov

End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov - 256 pages

A group of males, called the Eternals, live outside of time, in Eternity, and are tasked with altering humanity's reality to improve it.  They focus on doing the "Minimum Necessary Change," to avoid altering reality too much.  While on assignment, Andrew Harlan, an Eternal, falls in love with a non-Eternal woman who lives in real time.  Harlan learns something of the fate of his love interest, and does everything in his power to break the rules and save her life by bringing her into Eternity with him.  By breaking the rules, Harlan has created a time loop, and is given an ultimatum:  kill his woman or let Eternity crumble.
