Single Dad romance books
He'd do anything for his kids — and he's about to discover that includes falling in love again.
The single dad hero melts hearts on contact. Watching a strong, capable man be utterly devoted to his children — braiding hair, attending recitals, fierce in his love — is one of romance's most reliable swoons. He often comes with a wound (loss, abandonment, a marriage that failed) that's made him cautious about love, which raises the stakes when the heroine arrives.
This hero is a fixture of small-town and contemporary romance, where the kids frequently play matchmaker and the romance carries the extra weight of a ready-made family finding its missing piece. The best of these stories give the children real personality and let the heroine fall for the whole package.
For readers who love tenderness, family-building, and a hero whose devotion extends beyond the heroine, the single dad is a perennial favorite.
