B. Cameron Lee
My favourite fictional couple are Bren Cameron and his Atevi bodyguard, Jago.
Why? Originally Bren's two main bodyguards, Banichi and Jago, members of the Assassin's Guild, were placed in charge of his well-being to protect him from others in the Assassin's Guild. Over time, as the story progresses through the series, Bren and Jago come together. There is no benefit for either to be involved in a relationship and physically there is quite a difference in size and power between the two. However, despite being alien to each other, they find a place in each others affections.
C.J. Cherryh writes with such authority that the relationship, which has to remain hidden, feels real. Bren and Jago relate to each other without either taking from the relationship and as a side story in the Foreigner series, provide the reader a strangely satisfying love story, even if the two individuals involved are different species.

H Cameron! I just finished The Final Song and wanted to tell you that I really liked it: 'devilish fun'. She really had him in the palm of her hand. Looking forward to Pt. 2, which I also have. The final chapter, with the car flying through the air was very surreal. Cheers! Raymond P.S. Are you still writing?
