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.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

"I read an article about the ginger bread house once and I always thought about taking Adam to the country. This was pretty close considering that we don‘t have any family down south."


Christopher noted that Stella averted her eyes frequently while giving her explanation. But at other times during the conversation she had looked at them squarely, even inquisitively. She was lying.

It‘s really pretty here." Ashleigh stated. "But the true appeal is the simplicity of life here in Cobb Hill. Our kids can run around and be loud without worrying about the neighbors hearing everything they do."


"It smells good, too." Stella said. She had noticed that right away. "I mean the air smells sweet. Even that water coming out of the spring is the best water I‘ve ever had. And everyone is very nice…" she shrugged, "with the exception of Riley‘s cousin."
