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

Dixie opened her mouth to say no. Why would she reveal her past to him? Except he knew her history. He wasn't one of her co-workers or her ex's army friend that only saw her as she presented herself.


"I was just thinking about how Mom and Dad always pushed me so hard. Because if I got a better education than they did, maybe I wouldn't be as trapped as they were. My family's poorness was always a point of contention with Jace, then-never mind."


"Hey. I mind." Benjamin's hand slid down to her elbow then her hand. "Talk to me?"


Dixie shook her head. No part of her wanted to poke at those wounds. She was doing just fine ignoring them.


"Okay. But if you change your mind, you know where I'm at." He squeezed her hand, holding on tight.
