I feel like a lot of these recs are contemporary, but have you dipped into historical? 'The Duchess Deal' by Tessa Dare plays with this trope in the most delightful, humorous way. A scarred duke proposes a marriage of convenience strictly for an heir, but the unexpected emotional connection changes everything. His growth is about shedding his self-imposed isolation and believing he can be loved, not just be a sire. The pregnancy becomes the reason they stay together, but the real story is him learning to be a husband and, eventually, a present father. Tessa Dare makes the growth feel joyful rather than purely angsty.

Been diving into this trope lately, and it's honestly less about the pregnancy itself and more about the dude's emotional arc, right? 'The Temporary Wife' by Jeannie Moon comes to mind. The hero thinks he's just helping out a woman in a tough spot, then BAM, baby on the way and he has to confront all his own family baggage. His growth feels earned, not rushed. He starts off so closed-off, but watching him learn to care, to put someone else first, is the real payoff. The pregnancy is the catalyst, but the story belongs to his transformation from a lone wolf to a man building a real home.

It's a quieter book in some ways, but the emotional beats land perfectly.

The age-gap trope can intersect with this in interesting ways. An older, settled hero who thought his chance at a family was gone gets a surprise with a younger heroine. His growth is about overcoming cynicism or weariness and embracing a late-in-life joy he'd given up on. Conversely, a younger hero with an older, more established heroine could see him having to mature rapidly to prove he's not a mistake. The power dynamics and societal judgments add extra friction that can fuel a really nuanced growth arc beyond the usual beats.
