Joe Matlock
There are two couples.
Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler – In A Scandal in Bohemia. Because in previous works of Sir Doyle, Sherlock Holmes has no female interests, therefore Irene Adler makes a huge impact. Sherlock is so impressed by her intelligence and resourcefulness that he can barely function around her.
As for a work outside a series, Henry and Clare in The Time Traveler’s Wife. Henry is a librarian who travels involuntarily through time. Henry’s disappearances are unpredictable which lends an intensity to the couple’s love. They try to live normally when they can but there is always the threat that he will vanish with no warning. The love between the pair is moving and impressive.
