C. Rodney James
My favorite fictional couple is Chris Vickers (41) and Cynthia Longacre (22). They are my favorite because I created them. They appear in my first novel of a series of "police procedural/CSI" stories: ORIGINAL CYN A Love Story...With Guns. Vickers is a forensic firearms examiner recently fired for punching a prosecutor who has attempted to goad him into making an unethical judgement call. This disaster is followed by news from Vickers' Wife that she is leaving him.
Faced with the prospect of having to go out on his own, Vickers retreats to a cabin in the boondocks of northeastern Ohio to rebuild his career. Here he encounters the girl next door -- Cyn, a bored, highly-educated, often obnoxious, daughter of a wealthy lawyer who decides to worm her way into Vickers' work.
Chris wants nothing to do with her until Cyn's family connection provides a back-door opportunity to get back into the case that got him fired. The price is having Cyn as a partner. Chris breaks a rule passed on by a police mentor : never work with civilians -- they can get you killed.
