When all you know is what you were taught by parents and friends that are ignorant to the world, you grow up to be a man like Riley Pranger, a passive racist and chauvinistic. But Riley is going to get a fast re-education when a single black mother rents his home for the summer and he has no choice but to recognize the actions of the people around him. 

Stella Burton is a no nonsense, 6-foot tall curvaceous black woman who has no problem with hurting a man’s ego. She is opinionated, specifically about a country where she has been single handedly raising her multi-racial son to be a well-rounded black man. 

What happens when white privilege is suddenly challenged? When races clash and you mess with the wrong black woman? This novella contains twists and turns and sexiness as well as appearances from Lt. Christopher Jameson, Ashleigh and their children from the novel Beast, Bodie and Shaundea Matthews from A Wrong Turn Towards Love and True from True’s love. 

Warning: This story includes sexual situations, graphic and strong racist and homophobic language. This story discusses American politics and race relations in a fictional setting.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

She loved the house. Even though it was a new construction, every room felt quaint. She had the feeling of being in an old French villa, weird but true. The furniture and décor was stylish and modern but it still fit in perfectly with the hand hued wooden floors and old-fashioned character.


Chris Jr. had fallen asleep so Christopher left the women to themselves while he put him down for his nap. He was happy that Ashleigh had something new to take her mind off things. With Kendra and Lance back in Cincinnati she tended to keep things bottled in. He knew that she was depressed but wouldn‘t admit it, especially not to him. It was because she didn‘t want him to stop going on the missions, knowing that they were more than just his job—besides his family it was the most important part of his life. He had one coming at the end of summer and when he told her he had seen the way her eyes had changed, the way she was mentally preparing for him to die.
