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 STOOD IN THE kitchen, her lighter in hand.


If she lit them Benjamin would know-what? That she'd left The Love Barn and gone home to promptly shower, shave, the whole girl routine and light candles because tonight was their date for fun?


A diesel engine rumbled down the street.


Her nipples sat at attention and she shivered, watching for the headlights to turn into her driveway.


All weekend Benjamin had taunted her with variations of how much fun he had planned. If she'd known he intended to tease her, she would not have offered to help out with Garth. At least that's what she tried to tell herself. Any time she thought about those teases, the gentle caresses, she smiled.


She'd found it in her car, which meant he'd stolen her keys long enough to stash an old, faded Ransom varsity football shirt on her passenger seat.


It smelled of him and she wasn't too proud to admit that she'd slept in that shirt last night.
