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 had dodged out of the way, but then she ran up and kicked the man again. "Nobody calls my kid a mongrel!" she screamed. Riley shook Christopher and Bodie loose and ran over to Stella, barely noticing the spike of pain in his knee. He grabbed her and held her.


"It‘s alright, hon," he said in a low voice that was still deep with unbridled anger. His eyes were on her completely. "No one gets away with that. No one." She was shaking so hard that her body quaked. She wanted to kill that asshole. Never was she going to lie down. She was going to fight all the way. She vowed it to herself and she vowed to all that could hear her.


"I‘m never going to let someone get away with hurting us!" She growled. Riley‘s arms encased her, anchoring her to him. He kept staring into her eyes, speaking his agreement and soon her breath came out in even gusts.


"Damn." Bodie said in admiration. He liked Riley‘s woman.
