RIOT: A 1960s Love Story by Charles S. Isaacs
A fast-paced journey on an emotional roller coaster, bursting with political and sexual passions.
It’s the late 1960s. The Vietnam War, the Antiwar Movement and the Black Power Movement are rushing toward their explosive peaks. In the midst of this charged environment, an inter-racial pair of young activists fall madly in love. Awaiting them are excitement, danger, heartache and redemption.
RIOT: A 1960s Love Story chronicles these lovers’ challenging journey: their coming of age amidst an unpopular war, a racially polarized city, a hostile mayor and ever-mounting threats, all while working through their own deep psychological issues.
1968 is marked by campus unrest, urban rebellions and assassinations, as well as political violence that thrusts the duo into clashes with Chicago’s police and the National Guard. The suspense builds breathlessly to a heartrending climax during the street protests surrounding that summer’s Democratic National Convention.

The Risks We Take by Barbara C. Doyle
We were the push and the pull of the ocean – a combination that couldn’t decide it’s ending factor. After twelve years, you’d think seeing each other would be welcome. But too much has changed since we parted.
Ian Wells, former childhood friend of Kasey Miller, is the same boy who moved just before hell broke loose. The same boy that Kasey nursed a crush on since they were five, and the same boy that never called once since the day he left twelve years ago.
But now he was there, living in the apartment next door like he could waltz back into her life. No amount of time could heal how much he missed as they grew up … grew apart.
All he wanted was to get to know the girl he used to love spending every waking moment with, but all she wanted was to be left alone by the boy she blamed for all the pain.
He was an up-and-coming rock star, and she was an up-and-coming train wreck. Together, they’ll have to figure out what risks are worth taking before losing it all.
