This is my second book in this series. I've not read them in order, but each book can be read as a stand-alone. In this one characters from the previous book were mentioned, and it probably would be nice to read them in order, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
This book was wonderful! Some heartache, but lots of laughter and sweet romance. I can see how the main characters in this book will probably be mentioned in the next so you will get just a glimpse of what is happening in their lives.

As a Nanny, Millicent Fairweather poured her energy and talnets into the two young charges under her care---only to have them suddenly and without explanation sent to boarding school. Bereft and unsure of where life will lead her, she agrees to accompnay her sister and brother-in-law to America. They board the Opportunity, confident a better life awaits.
Widower Daniel Clark determines to begin life anew in Gooding, Texas, operating a mercantile. But when his nanny leaves him stranded aboard the ship with his young son, he finds himself in dire need of assistance. Obtaining temporary help from steerage, Daniel is initially taken aback by the pretty bundle of energy who takes over his suite. Yet Miss Fairweather's unique child-rearing techniques and tireless devotion to his son win him over.
When tragedy ensues and a whirlwind decision is made, Daniel and Millicent's lives irrevocably intertwine. Will love soon follow?
I enjoyed this book. I love all of Ms. Hake's books, especially those in Gooding Texas.
