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

 "I CAN'T DO this." Cole gripped the edge of the table and stared at his half-drank beer.


"I don't know why you're doing this." Will David shoved his hands through his hair. Cole could feel the other man's gaze on him. "What purpose does this serve?"


"We can't do anything differently right now," Benji said. "Look, Scarlett's gone straight to pissed. It wouldn't matter what you went up the hill to tell her, she'd tear you a new one. We stick to the plan."


"Nothing good will come from talking to her now," Garth agreed.


"I don't know." Cal sighed and met Cole's gaze. "Whenever I screw up the longer I wait the worse it gets with Eve."


"It's been two weeks," Garth said. "Even if you went up, there planning to ask her to marry you, she'd probably take your head off first."


Cole swallowed and fought the urge to wipe imagined sweat from his brow.
