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

Noemi SLOWED HER JOG as her phone vibrated against her thigh. It was actually cool enough this morning that she'd needed a light jacket. She braced herself and looked at the display.


Noemi's gut still churned. She hadn't slept much last night. Her brain was too worked up over what had happened with Garth, how far she'd let things go, what it meant for the future.


It wasn't like she could ignore Garth. Or Scarlett for that matter.


Noemi tapped the answer button. "Scarlett, hey."


"No, not at all." She turned at the next corner and decided her morning run was over. "How you feeling?"


"Okay this morning. Knock on wood." Scarlett chuckled and Noemi heard the thump thump thump of a literal knock on wood. "I'm sorry I didn't make it over last night. I hope Garth wasn't too much trouble."
