Dakota Home, by Debbie Macomber

The story picks up not long after the ending of the Dakota Born story. Lindsay & Gage are now married. Maddy, Lindsay's best friend, buys the Buffalo Valley grocery store & moves to town. She meets Jeb, a quiet, reclusive-type with a prosthetic leg, who she delivers groceries to. One night during a snowstorm she goes off the road and after running out of gas & nearly freezing to death, Jeb comes to her rescue. They end up spending several days together at Jeb's home during the snowstorm. After Maddy's return to her home in town, Jeb seems to want nothing to do with her, and Maddy is heartbroken, as well as pregnant. Lindsay & Gage are also expecting a baby. There's also Buffalo Bob, owner of 3 Of A Kind Bar, finally getting married to his on-again off-again waitress, Merrily. Merrily has kidnapped a severely abused child. She & Buffalo Bob plan to raise him as their own, until missing child flyers with his picture begin to circulate. What happens with that will most likely be answered in the third book, Always Dakota. There are a couple other weddings & engagements in the book as well.
