The Single Father series is Molly Fader’s longest, spanning 32 category romance novels from 2000 to 2020. Each book follows a different single dad finding love while juggling the demands of parenthood. Published primarily through Harlequin, the series covers two decades of category romance.
This Child of Mine (2000) started the series, and Fader published steadily through the 2000s with titles like The Mommy Plan (2003), Bachelor Father (2005), and Nanny Makes Three (2007). The mid-2000s were the most productive stretch, with multiple books arriving each year. Later entries like Soldier’s Rescue (2017) and Unfinished Business (2020) came after longer gaps.
The books are standalones connected by theme rather than plot, so readers can start anywhere. The consistent focus on single fathers dealing with parenting alongside new romance gives the series a specific niche within Harlequin’s catalog. Titles like Daddy’s Little Matchmaker and The Trick to Getting a Mom signal stories where the children play active roles in the love story.
