You can't always get what you want. In the space of five months, Alex Blakely has gone from party-girl traveler who never wanted to settle down, to house-owner and guardian to seven-year-old Libby. The responsibility terrifies her, she never wanted this. In the course of a year, Kat Stein has gone from happily married second-grade teacher, to divorced, broke and hanging onto her job by a thread. The loss of her perfect life is devastating, she never wanted this. And when travel-crazed hippy meets disciplined, strait-laced teacher, it's hate at first sight. Alex and Kat couldn't be more different, and neither is exactly living her best life. Until a rigged school election, a painful accident in the woods, and the re-appearance of Libby's mysterious father mean that the two are reluctantly bound together... Getting everything you ever wanted is hard enough. But getting everything you never wanted? That's a whole lot trickier... Everything We Never Wanted is a new stand-alone lesbian romance from Sienna Waters, the author of the Oakview and Monday's Child lesfic series.
