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

Garth groaned inwardly, kissed Noemi's forehead then stepped away.


Room service delivered a feast. He'd been unsure what to order, so had erred on the side of too much. Besides steak there were twice-baked potatoes, asparagus and corn, salad, soup, steaming hot bread and Dulce de leche cheesecake.


Noemi watched the food delivery with wide eyes. He'd warned her to be hungry upon their arrival, but he didn't think either of them could eat all this.


Noemi laughed. "You trying to fatten me up?"


He pulled out her chair for her to sit on their balcony with the milling people down below.


"I must say, I'm impressed," Noemi said as she picked up her fork and knife. "I had wondered if you were spiriting me away to a cabin somewhere in the boonies."


Garth chuckled. "I know better than to do that."


Noemi cocked her head to the side. "You know, that doesn't actually sound bad now that I'm thinking about it."
