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

Cole PULLED THE door to The Watering Hole open and stepped inside the old bar, his stomach twisted up in knots. He hadn't been here since that night he and Scarlett had played darts.


That had been the best week of his life.


He'd gotten to hang out with his siblings.


"There's the hero of the week," Jessica called out from behind the bar running down the middle of the room.


"Did you see the damn paper this morning?" Cole bellied up to the bar, scanning the room. Sure enough, both Benji and Garth were tucked into a corner with some other guys. Cole briefly met Benji's gaze. The brothers hadn't spoken to Cole since the pony incident. He still wasn't sure why they'd waited for him at the hospital, but he needed to talk to them.


"Oh, hot damn, yes I did." Jessica's brows rose. "That's not happening, right?"


"Hell no. The Humes paid for that ages ago and they still ran it. Shit."
