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?

"I need to hear it and you need a drink."


"Oh, no. Nothing for me." No need for a repeat of last weekend.


"You have to have something or else Mamaw is going to yell at me for being a bad host." Luna hooked her arm in Dixie's and led her toward the outdoor kitchen.
