Publisher Description
Welcome to Book One in the Blessings, Georgia series of small town Southern contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sharon Sala. Steel Magnolias meets The Best of Me when former beauty queen LilyAnne Bronte is finally ready to put the past in the past with the help of her best friend.
LilyAnn Bronte loves everything about her hometown of Blessings, Georgia, especially the way her friends and neighbors supported her when her husband was killed in Iraq. But it’s been years since she lost her first love, and the gossip lately has been that LilyAnn is stuck living in the past and unable to move on. But how can she move forward when the life she planned was torn away from her?
Mike Dalton and LilyAnn grew up together, and he’s secretly loved her since they were kids. Unable to tell her how he’s felt about her for years and too unsure of himself to tell her now, he worries that his dream of being more than friends is slipping away. The thing is, everybody in Blessings is sure it’s Mike and LilyAnn who belong together—and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make LilyAnn realize the love of her life has been by her side all along.

You and only you
Wonderful story of a woman’s determination and strength!
A great small town read
YOU AND ONLY YOU by Sharon Sala is set in the small town of Blessings, Georgia. If you love small towns, Blessings has it all. It's filled with a whole cast of quirky characters starting with the hub of the town—the Curl Up and Dye beauty salon owned by Ruby Dye.
LilyAnn Bronte works for the local pharmacy. She has spent the last eleven years grieving for her high school sweetheart killed in Iraq. During this time, she has stopped living. She doesn't date and doesn't connect with the community. She has withdrawn from everything until a new man, T.J. Lachlan, comes to town. Suddenly, LilyAnn takes a hard look at herself and doesn't like what she sees.
Mike Dalton owns the local gym and lives next door to LilyAnn. He's been in love with her since they were kids, but he's about to call it quits when he thinks she's fallen for someone else. Mike's big problem is that he's never told her how he feels.
LilyAnn has always seen Mike as a friend, but when he's seriously injured, she drives him to the hospital and stays by his side until he comes out of surgery. She is grief-stricken at the idea of losing him but doesn't recognize the feelings as love.
Lachlan becomes obsessed with LilyAnn when she refuses to date him and begins stalking her. He eventually breaks into her house and attacks her, but she fights him off. When he pulls a knife on her, Mike hears her cries for help and comes to the rescue.
With the help of the girls at the Curl Up and Dye, they nudge LilyAnn and Mike together and they find their happily ever after. Great characters and a really sweet romance.
