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

Stella got out of the tub just when Adam returned home. She got his bath prepared as he went on and on about Riley, fishing, and how gross the fish guts were but that he hadn‘t been afraid. 


"Mom. Do you think it would be okay if I watched sports with Riley sometime?"


She lathered his washcloth. "You‘ll have to ask him about that. But I don‘t want you to bother him too much, okay? He‘s been nice but we don‘t want to be pests."


"Okay," Adam said, his body seeming to deflate.


Stella washed his armpits but he didn‘t giggle like he normally did. "You like Riley?"


"That‘s good. I‘ll talk to him about it, okay? Right after we eat. You can come back here and maybe play a video game or something while I talk to him about it."


She took in a deep breath. There was no backing out now.
