* This is the main plot point in [[TalesOfTheBranionRealm The Granite Shield]]. A [[GodEmperor divine monarch]] [[StopWorshippingMe denies his divinity]], and a woman from a neighboring kingdom seduces him, bearing his firstborn in order to [[SaveYourDeity rescue her god]]. She does this with the consent and aid of her own husband.
* In the ''{{Temeraire}}'' series, Iskierka (the draconic equivalent to a BrattyTeenageDaughter) became obsessed with mating with Temeraire, convinced that any offspring of theirs would inherit both her [[IncendiaryExponent fire-breathing]] and his ''[[MakeMeWannaShout Divine Wind]]'' abilities. Never mind that everyone - including her own captain - tells her that Breeding Does Not Work That Way. And even if it did, Chinese Celestials (like Temeraire) don't breed true.
* This is basically the Modus Operandi of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood of ''{{Dune}}'' - breeding together people with the right genes in order to produce the Kwisatz Haderach... whether that means matchmaking, blackmail, or outright rape is of little concern to them as long as the right children result. The ultimate goal was supposed to be the daughter of Duke Leto Atreides and Jessica, paired with Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen... but Jessica went against orders and bore a son, Paul, who threw a wrench in their plans in more ways than one. Ironically, in the end they did wind up getting their God-Emperor, Paul's son Leto II, who also engaged in his own, 3500 year long breeding program. 
* A Maghuin Dhonn witch attempts this on Imriel from KushielsLegacy as a way to thwart a prophecy. He doesn't go for it.
* In ''The Song of the Tears'', the 3rd series in Ian Irvine's ''ThreeWorldsCycle'', it turns out that [[spoiler: Maigraith]] has spent the last few generations obsessed with creating a new, perfect combination of the world's 4 human species [[spoiler: as a monument to Rulke, her dead lover]].
