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

BENJI LIVELY POWERED OFF his phone, ignoring his brother's phone call, and kept his eyes on the road. The work day was over. There wasn't anything else to be done. It was time to let off a little steam and talking to Garth wasn't going to help. Hell, half Benji's problems lately were courtesy of his brother.


What was it with Garth lately? Everything Benji did rubbed him the wrong way. Nothing was good enough. Benji didn't do anything right. The list went on.


He needed to find his buddies, get a drink and forget about his family for a few hours.


The Fort Worth Stockyards were a hopping place on any given Saturday. Tonight was no different. He found an out of the way spot to park on the street a block over from the strip of bars that drew in tourists and locals alike. Benji had a group of friends he hung out with fairly often who were plain old fun. Just what he needed.


Who would have thought running a wedding venue would be tough work?
