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

BENJI TAPPED THE NECK of his empty beer.


Jessica North braced her hand on the bar and quirked a brow at him.


"Come on. Hook me up with one more." He spoke slowly, doing his best to get each word out clearly.


Jessica shook her head. "Not just no, but hell no."


Another patron of The Watering Hole beckoned Jessica for a drink. She poured the man a beer, leaving Benji to sit on his stool and stew.


Elisabeth's plan had gone down in flames.


He'd been certain that if he could just talk to her everything would be fine.


She must be really serious about ending things with him even if that wasn't what her heart was telling her. Dixie was a lead with her head, not her heart, kind of woman.


A heavy hand settled on Benji's shoulder.


He turned his head and squinted up at his brother. "What the fuck are you doing here?"


"Jess called." Garth nodded at the bartender.


"I should have realized something was wrong when he showed up here alone." Jessica thumbed at Benji.
