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 WATCHED HARRISON STORM across the apartment with a sinking heart. That was not the same kid she'd met two years ago.


The bedroom door slammed shut. Dixie winced and glanced at Elisabeth.


"I'm going to hear about that from the neighbors." She sighed and dropped her head back on the sofa.


"When did he get so angry?" Dixie glanced at her friend.


"I wish I knew." Elisabeth picked up the remote. "Should we movie without him?"


"Do you want to talk about this?" Dixie curled her leg under her and turned to face her friend.


Music began to pulse from the teenager's room. Loud music.


When she'd crossed paths with Elisabeth, Harrison had been a fairly average teenager. A bit soft-spoken, but a nice kid. All of that was gone now and neither Elisabeth or Dixie knew why. No one seemed to.


"One minute." Elisabeth sighed and hoisted herself to her feet.


Dixie's heart hurt for what her friend was going through. None of this was easy.
