A year into mourning his wife, James Davison still wonders how to move on. Could Aiden’s mother be the answer, or just another question? Is this the real thing, or something else altogether? James’s life is about to get a lot more complicated.
This brilliant contemporary story of love, lust and loss is Book One in D.B Allen’s Modern Relationships Series.

From the book:
She didn’t have many pictures with her, just a handful in a leather-bound portfolio, but the theme was obvious enough. And her work was incredible. I stared at the first piece she showed me. Sweeps of pale colour that were twisting and intertwining. Unbelievably erotic. Amazingly realistic considering how minimalist it was. And as I looked I began to make out familiar shapes. The hint of a breast. The lips of a vulva. A fingernail.
‘My God…’ I whispered, before I realised what I’d said.
‘No good?’
‘Geez, no, I mean, quite the opposite. They’re amazing. So beautiful.’ I felt myself tingle again – like I had when she’d touched me outside the Lord Sydney. Hardening a little. I tried to stop it. Couldn’t.
‘Thanks,’ Fran said, reaching forward and touching my arm, again.
She passed me another piece – a pair of thick ruby red lips, moist and shining. Lustrous and engorged. Two streaky, pearl droplets running across the bottom lip. X-rated, but somehow innocent. Suggestive without being pornographic. I can’t describe how that one made me feel. It was like no feeling I could remember – not even when I’d been with Robyn. It was dangerous. Irresistible.

Aiden's Alibi is a short novella of approximately 15,000 words, or around 50 pages.
