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

Back during the summer the funny feeling in his chest he got whenever he was really worked up over something had gotten worse. Of course he hadn't said anything about it. Why should he? The men in their family all died the same way, either tragically or wasting away from a broken heart. It had taken one stubborn doctor beating it into his head that what he really had wasn't some old wife's tale about a curse, it was a combination of atrial fibrillation and a heart condition brought on by stress that mimicked a heart attack.


That health scare had pushed his family into taking time off, and subsequently the vacation that had thrown him and Noemi together. If it weren't for his heart trying to give out on him, they wouldn't be here now. He'd have driven both Scarlett and Benji away. Noemi would have never become part of his life.


He was grateful for all of it. Even the parts that sucked. Because they'd all brought him here.
