Welcome to Ransom, Texas, where the family ties bind and love runs hot. One of the juciest pieces of gossip around town is what’s happening at The Love Barn, Ransom’s new boutique wedding venue run by the Lively siblings. Word around the tea shop is that Scarlett Lively is getting awfully close to a jilted groom. Then there’s whatever is going on with Benji! We have it on good authority he’s not just teaching his high school crush to play the guitar. And then there’s Garth, who has been noticeably missing from happy hour at The Watering Hole. Will these three break the family curse? Or are they destined to repeat it?

The Love Barn

Scarlett gathered her laundry, let herself into the house and released Pip from the kennel. She went through the motions of getting her laundry going then settled on the sofa with Pip to stare at nothing.


Cole had never given her the indication he wanted to get back together with Allie-Kate. In fact, the way he spoke, it sounded like there'd never been any love there at all. But what if AK's appearance made Cole realize he wanted something else? What if he decided to move? What if-what? What was Scarlett afraid of?


Against her better judgment she'd fallen in love with him and now all of the power was in his hands. He could hurt her. No, he could destroy her. She'd fallen for a man she knew wasn't sure of what he wanted. That meant she had to accept that she could lose it all, and there was nothing she could do about it.
