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'S HEAD HAD STOPPED pounding. Now he had a slight throb going on, but that wasn't the worst of his problems.


He'd tried to sneak down to The Hole to settle his tab from the previous night before their afternoon wedding, but it hadn't worked out. Now this little trip was a family affair with Garth, Scarlett and Cole tagging along. They weren't even trying to hide their perverse joy at his misery.


At least it gave him something other than Dixie to think about.


No more drowning his sorrows. It only led to more pain.


He'd get through this, even if it felt like there was nowhere to go without Dixie in the picture. People had survived heartache for centuries. He'd figure it out, too.


Benji parked at the curb rather than the lot. It was already packed, and he wasn't keen on staying longer than he had to.
