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

It was worse than that time her in-laws had thought it would be fun to take her skiing.


She groaned and lifted a hand to her face.


She traced the bone and down to her jaw. That was the wrong shape. It felt funny.


So much laughing she'd gotten sick to her stomach from it.


And then...everything got pretty fuzzy. What had she done to herself?


She pushed the light blanket and sheet down her body. She felt the hand on her waist before she saw it.


A large hand with neatly trimmed nails rested against her ribs. The skin was tan and the hair at the wrist a light, golden brown.


That was not her ex-husband's hand, and that certainly wasn't his wrist. His nails were always ripped. His skin was paler and his hair dark. And he never, ever touched her while she slept.
