(On a more serious note, did you ever read Dorothy Dunnett's "Lymond Chronicles"? I was reminded of it because the final part of the 6 volumes has an example of that kind of purple romantic stuff done right. But you get 6 volumes of angst, politics, and derring-do leading up to it, so the rich, sugary little chunk makes a good dessert, instead of choking you as an entire meal.)
