by Karen Robards - the hero actually divorces his wife (in HR that is almost unheard of!) to marry his pregnant ward
Julia Quinn
by Madeline Hunter
Well, I mentioned it in one of the games, but I'll list it here too, so it will be easier for people who like this theme to find:Lord of Ice by Gaelen Foley
Once an Angel has a girl who has never met her guardian, and goes looking for him. I read it when I was a lot younger, but remember enjoying it.

He usually expects a child, and instead ends up with a woman who he promptly puts out for her season. The guardian ends up falling for her while taking her around for her season...
Sometimes its a young man who ends up as the guardian to a pre-teen. He sends her away somewhere, and when she comes back for her season(after she is much older) he falls for her.
The men are usually in their late twenties/early thirties. Sexy, but not old. LOL
Not a theme I'm crazy about. I keep having visions of a dirty old man chasing little girls around the house in my mind. I have read a few but none have really stood out for me to mention.

I read a couple when I was younger, and thought that they were great but don't remember the names of any of the books. :(
I'd like to know too. :DThe only one that comes to mind is Stella Cameron's Testing Miss Toogood, where the heroine is technically not the hero's ward, but he chaperones her.
