I am not into detective or romantic genres where such couples may abound.

So I'm going to be cheeky and say that my favorite couple is Perry and Sunny from my own novel, "Madju-Raj: The Messenger of Death".

These two - an Englishman, and a Thai woman - live in a little village in England, and team up to solve a murder in a nearby village and save a Thai woman who stands accused of the crime.

Their adventures take them from England to Thailand, and back again, and there is no lack of romance along the way between these two unusual and diverse characters from different cultural backgrounds. They are the classic fictional couple. (IMHO....)
