The paperback edition of M. A. Wardell‘s HUSBAND OF THE YEAR is out this week in North America and in the UK! It’s the highly-anticipated, fourth and final instalment in the author’s acclaimed Teachers in Love series. Here’s the synopsis…

Family isn’t only about blood. It’s about the people we choose.

Olan Stone wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with kindergarten teacher Marvin Block. And his daughter, Illona, can’t wait to call Marvin her stepfather. They’re bashert—meant to be. However, as the big day approaches, family tensions and unresolved issues put their future together in jeopardy.

Marvin thought he and Olan had everything all figured out. But he’s realizing that their whirlwind romance may not be the foundation for a lifetime commitment after all. As they struggle through the changes that life is throwing their way, will they be drawn closer together or farther apart?

The novel is published by Forever in North America (today) and Penguin in the UK (Thursday, but you may be able to find copies in bookshops already). Both publishers have also published the first three novels in the series: TEACHER OF THE YEAR, MISTLETOE AND MISHIGAS, and NAPKINS & OTHER DISTRACTIONS.
