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

"Doc said you needed time off." Benji kept staring at his brother. "I know not being involved is driving you nuts. If you promise to take the next week off and not be a complete pain in the ass, I'll talk to Scarlett about dividing up duties between the three of us again."


"Yeah, but do you know how to relax? Have fun?" Benji watched his brother shake his head, his upper lip curling. Relax was a four letter word to a work-a-holic. "Garth, you're my brother and I love you, but you're missing the point. We know you can work, we know you can take care of us, but what matters is that all of this could have been avoided. Why didn't you ever go to those appointments? Those tests?" Benji leaned forward, elbows on his knees.


Garth had his head turned sideways, looking anywhere but at Benji.


Yeah, this wasn't a fun conversation, but they needed to have this out so they could move on already.


The silence dragged on, broken only by the tapping of Garth's toe.
