Some possible examples:

* Used a few times in the Literature/VorkosiganSaga by Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold:
** In 'Memory'' there are two forming couples: Gregor and Laisa, and Duv and Delia. Duv and Laisa were dating (though not romantically involved yet), when Gregor (Duv's superior) looped in and had a whirlwind romance with Laisa. Duv didn't take it well, but his quiet and unassuming style was noticed and appreciated by Gregor's old friend Delia. Though netiher of the couples are the main characters of the novel. You can probably add Illyan and Alys as well.
** In ''Captain Vorpatril's Alliance'' Ivan and Tej are the alpha couple, and Byerly and Rish are the betas. Ivan and Byerly are old acquintances (and with a somewhat belligerent friendship), and Tej and Rish are sisters.
** ''A Civil Campaign'' has far too many couples either jut formed or forming up or just having trouble, all knowing each other: Miles and Ekaterin, Gregor and Laisa, Duv and Delia, Dono and Olivia, Borgos and Martya, Mark and Kareen...
