Husband of the Year by M. A. Wardell (Paperback)

Marvin Block finally gets the future he’s dreamed of: marrying his best friend and soulmate, Olan Stone. But saying “I do” isn’t the end of their journey — it’s just the beginning. As wedding planning begins, both men must face old wounds, difficult relationships, and the baggage they’ve carried for years.

Olan’s past is complicated. He’s divorced and has a daughter, Illona, who is eagerly awaiting her new stepfather. Marvin, returning to teaching, must juggle his anxiety, expectations, and the joy of building a blended family.

As the big day approaches, tensions rise. Olan’s family brings turmoil, threatening to derail the celebration. Marvin and Olan lean on their found family — friends, colleagues, and loved ones — to help them navigate the emotional challenges ahead.

Through heartfelt conversations, doubts, and moments of pure joy, Marvin and Olan discover that their love is worth fighting for. This final book in the Teachers in Love series offers a deeply personal look at commitment, growth, and the power of chosen family — proving that marriage is never simple, but sometimes it’s the sweetest risk.
