Description:

On the surface, twenty-two year old Cole Morgan is exactly what any girl would be proud to take home to meet her parents: He’s charming, intensely handsome and goal-oriented...Only he has some secrets of his own, which include provoking bar fights and a former drug-addict of a mother slowly wasting away in a medical facility.

At barely twenty, Violet Lynn is Country Music's hottest star, until one night of partying gets out of control. Violet ends up in jail and on TMZ. Suddenly, she’s the girl least likely to be invited anywhere. Sick of the drama and keeping secrets, she runs away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi to her grandmother’s home in Forrestville, North Carolina.

A chance meeting knocks Cole off his feet, but he doesn’t recognize Violet for who she is. In fact no one does and Violet plans to keep it that way.

Circumstances, however annoying,keep throwing Violet and Cole together. Unable to stop themselves they give into the inevitable.

But when Nashville is ready to forgive and forget, Violet is forced to choose between Cole and claiming her spot as the new and improved Princess of Country Music.

Will Violet and Cole have the courage to live for their dreams...Or their hearts?

Facts about Live For You Part 1

By Marquita Valentine

1) The Series Boy of the South was inspired by the song Boys From the South by The Pistol Annies

2) Live For You is heavily dominated by Cole’s POV. Why: Boys of the South Plus, I love writing the hero’s POV.

3) The title (which I did get some cover snark for about the 3 time echo, but hey at least they noticed, right?) actually represents two things for Cole and Violet. One: Live, Live, Live reminded me of a concert, Like LIVE AT THE PURPLEMONKEYHOUSE OF BLUES or something. So I wanted to play off of that. Two: Cole and Violet are both living for very different things. Career for her and just trying to survive for him. Soon they start living for each other, even themselves, instead of other’s expectations.

4) Usually, in the books I write the hero has more financial security than the heroine, but I knew I wanted to write something different. So this Violet, being the country music superstar, actually had the security. However, Cole, like any man secure in his manliness, doesn’t care about her money.

Nationally Bestselling Author, Marquita Valentine, writes small town romances that are anything but small. Lisa Kleypas, Carly Phillips and Rachel Gibson are her favorite contemporary authors. Marquita met her husband aka Hot Builder at Sonic when they were in high school. She suggests this location to all of her single friends in search of a good man -- and if that doesn't work, they can console themselves with cheesy tatertots. She lives in North Carolina in a very, very small town with Hot Builder and their two children.
