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

GARTH LIVELY STOOD back and eyed the curtain rod. It looked even with the others, but these old houses were so crooked and unsteady that an even job might still not look right.


"Perfect," Scarlett proclaimed and wrapped her arms around his waist, giving him a squeeze.


"We'll see how they look once the curtains are up." He expected to need to redo a few of the rods.


"Thanks so much for doing this. Cole would have helped when he gets home." Scarlett offered him then Benji a mason jar of cold tea.


"I'm about sick of the window show," Benji growled.


Garth didn't offer his thoughts, but he agreed with Benji. It was hard enough for Garth to back off and let Scarlett take on the wedding planner gig. Having a front row view to her living room and her unfolding romance was too much.


"Oh, stop it." Scarlett slapped Benji's shoulder. "His family is coming over tonight if you two want to join us for dinner?"
