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

"Race is a big deal, especially in this day in age."


"It can be. But it doesn‘t have to be between us." He said.


She thought about her next words. "Did race play a role in why you broke it off with Jasmine?"


"No," he said. "I was just a dick." He rubbed the beard of his chin and looked off into the distance. "When I really understood that my careers as a football player was over, I pulled away from everything that reminded me of those dreams. I told myself that she would be better off without me, but if I‘m honest with myself, I just didn‘t want to be reminded of all that I would never be." He met Stella‘s eyes.


"You asked me if I loved her. I did. But I was young and stupid. I thought that everything important about myself was lost with my knee injury. I didn‘t think a woman like her would want a man like me, not when I didn‘t have anything to offer."
