Made to Riot is book 1 of The Ancestors MC trilogy. Books 2 and 3, Made to Beg and Made to Survive are available everywhere now! It starts with a drink. It ends with a baby in my womb. "One night only" is a slippery slope. I fell hard for the biker – then he disappeared. But he's back now, and this time, when he leaves… He's dragging me with him – whether I like it or not. ANYA He showed up in my emergency room looking like the devil had worked him over with a tire iron. But Bryce Johnson didn't want a nurse. He wanted a gun, a car… And a hostage. And lucky for me, I was his first pick. I'd always wanted out of this small town. But I never thought my ticket to freedom would barge into my life like this. A gorgeous biker with windswept hair and inky tattoos crawling over his muscular shoulders? He might've looked like a dream. But the outlaw f**ked like a nightmare. Like an animal. Like a brutal, savage beast. I'd never been with a man like him before. And after the first kiss, the first touch, the first night, I knew: I'd never want another man again. But landing in the biker's bed was just the start of this madness. Now, I'm riding shotgun with a killer behind the wheel. And there's no telling if I'll make it out alive. BRYCE Life for me as an outlaw biker has always been simple: take the job and get it done. By any means necessary. Some men were born to create chaos. To burn things down. To f**k sh!t up. And God knows I'm one of them. I've always managed to escape the mayhem alive. But this time, I might've bitten off more than I can chew. Even though I've done dirty things before, and there's no doubt in my mind I'll do them again. And I thought I'd learned the hard way not to get distracted when there's a mission on my plate. But the curvy nurse with the shining eyes is testing my focus. She's a do-gooder, a saint in scrubs, a angel if ever there was one. She deserves a white picket fence, a boring-a$$ husband, and a few obnoxious, giggling little kids. But she ain't gonna get that with me. Because my world is a hell of a lot different. My world is mobs and MCs, suspense and submission, whiskey and women. I drink fast and ride hard. I f**k. I break. I hurt. It sure as hell ain't for everyone. So I did the fair thing: I pointed my gun at her head and gave her a choice. She can either run for cover. Or she can get in the car with me, and see where the road takes her. That's just the beginning of our story. And I'll make a vow to you right now. This will end only one way: With my ring on her finger, my brand on her skin… And my baby in her belly.

As the Civil War rages, another battle breaks out behind the lines. During a long hot July in 1863, the worst race riots the United States has ever seen erupt in New York City. Earlier that year, desperate for more Union soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln instituted a draft—a draft that would allow the wealthy to escape serving in the army by paying a $300 waiver, more than a year's income for the recent immigrant Irish. And on July 11, as the first drawing takes place in Lower Manhattan, the city of New York explodes in rage and fire. Stores are looted; buildings, including the Colored Foundling Home, are burned down; and black Americans are attacked, beaten, and murdered. The police cannot hold out against the rioters, and finally, battle-hardened soldiers are ordered back from the fields of Gettysburg to put down the insurrection, which they do—brutally. Fifteen-year-old Claire, the beloved daughter of a black father and Irish mother, finds herself torn between the two warring sides. Faced with the breakdown of the city—the home—she has loved, Claire must discover the strength and resilience to address the new world in which she finds herself, and to begin the hard journey of remaking herself and her identity. Addressing such issues as race, bigotry, and class head-on, Walter Dean Myers has written another stirring and exciting novel that will shake up assumptions, and lift the spirit.

Navy SEAL K-9 handler Beau “Danger” Maddox is at the top of his game—until an op goes south, leaving him physically and mentally scarred. Separated from the Navy, he’s determined to requalify as operational and get back in the action so he can take down the deadly South American cartel that killed his team. The last thing he needs is a distraction in the form of a beautiful new neighbor and her dog… Trafficking survivor Paisley Reyna became a trauma counselor to help others after a harrowing captivity at the hands of the notorious Guerrero Cartel. When she unexpectedly inherits her cousin’s home and retired military working dog, Riot, she seizes the chance to eke out a quiet life in a small town in Texas. However, the Dutch shepherd upends her plans, destroys her belongings, and repeatedly escapes next door to the intense former SEAL, who poses a threat to her peace—and maybe even her heart. When the local sheriff asks for Danger’s expertise and Paisley’s dog to intercept a trafficking deal, they’re quickly caught up in a battle against the very cartel that marked both their souls. Along with a paramilitary team, they plunge deeper and deeper into the Venezuelan jungle—all too aware that making it out alive a second time will take nothing short of a miracle.

The history of the modern riot parallels the development of the modern novel and the modern lyric. Yet there has been no sustained attempt to trace or theorize the various ways writers over time and in different contexts have shaped cultural perceptions of the riot as a distinctive form of political and social expression. Through a focus on questions of voice, massing, and mediation, this collection is the first cross-cultural study of the interrelatedness of a prevalent mode of political and economic protest and the variable styles of writing that riots inspired. This volume will provide historical depth and cultural nuance, as well as examine more recent theoretical attempts to understand the resurgence of rioting in a time of unprecedented global uncertainty. One of the key contentions of this collection is that literature has done more than merely record riotous practices. Rather literature has, in variable ways, used them as raw material to stimulate and accelerate its own formal development and critical responsiveness. For some writers this has manifested in a move away from classical norms of propriety and accord, and toward a more openly contingent, chaotic, and unpredictable scenography and cast of dramatis personae, while others have moved towards narrative realism or, more recently, digital media platforms to manifest the crises that riots unleash. Keenly attuned to these formal variations, the essays in this collection analyse literature's fraught dialogue with the histories of violence that are bound up in the riot as an inherently volatile form of collective action.

This symposium is a sober, reasoned, well-documented presentation by a number of elergymen, lawyers, judges, sociologists, and political scientists who have attempted to come to grips with the problem of urban riots.
