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 SLOWED THE CAR as she approached her house.


A familiar green Jeep sat at the curb, windows down.


She turned her car into the driveway but didn't hit the garage opener.


A bit of movement in her rearview mirror had Dixie glancing over her shoulder.


Scarlett stood on the curb, her hair glinting red in the sunshine and a pair of sunglasses pushed up on her head. She wore a loose, floral dress with a jean jacket thrown over it and boots. Her face was somber, serious.


Because of what was going on with Garth, or the sins Dixie needed to atone for?


She grabbed her things and got out. Scarlett was closer now, her expression no less serious.


"He's going to be fine." Scarlett's shoulders slumped, and she breathed a sigh of relief. "He's going to be okay."


"I'm sorry we're seeing each other under these circumstances." Dixie clutched her planner to her chest like a shield.
