From the New York Times bestselling author of such “sizzling Stark novels” (RT Book Reviews) as Release Me and Say My Name comes a Stark International Novel featuring provocative bad boy Dallas Sykes—the first in a new trilogy in the S.I.N. series.It was wrong for us to be together, but it was even harder to be apart. The memory of Dallas Sykes burns inside of me. Everyone knows him as a … Dallas Sykes burns inside of me.
Everyone knows him as a notorious playboy, a man for whom women and money are no object. But to me, he’s still the one man I desperately crave—yet the one I can never have.
Dallas knows me better than anyone else. We bear the same scars, the same darkness in our past. I thought I could move on by staying away, but now that we’re drawn together once more, I can’t fight the force of our attraction or the temptation to make him mine.
We’ve tried to maintain control, not letting ourselves give in to desire. And for so long we’ve told ourselves no—but now it’s finally time to say yes.
Praise for Dirtiest Secret
“[A] high-octane contemporary, the first in [J. Kenner’s] new Stark International Novel (S.I.N.) trilogy . . . Kenner skillfully builds a top-notch thriller.”—Publishers Weekly
“Fans of Kenner’s steamy, decadent and daring plotlines will feel right at home in her new S.I.N. series and revel in the escapades of her tortured characters and their forbidden passion. As always, Kenner delivers a sensual and heady physical relationship, fraught with danger, forbidden love and high-stakes complications.”—RT Book Reviews

“This book had a little bit of everything. Mystery, suspense, emotion and dirty, hot sex.”—Shameless Book Club
“Kenner wrote Dallas in such a way that you are enthralled with his character from the first page he graces. He’s sexy and extremely controlling but not quite what you think he is.”—Black Heart Reviews
“Seduction and tangled emotions led the way in this first book of the Stark International Novels (S.I.N.) series. With a happy-for-now ending that had a twist at the end, I can’t wait to see what happens next in Jane and Dallas’s intriguing story.”—Harlequin Junkie
“It was literally like [eating] the most decadently sinful piece of chocolate, knowing that you really need to lose those last ten pounds. I do believe that I just found my newest guilty pleasure and his name is Dallas Sykes.”—Hooker Heels Book Blog

I love J. Kenner. Damien Stark and Nikki Fairchild are my absolute faves. When I started Dirtiest Secret I thought I was in store for a scorching hot treat. Sadly, that is not the case here.
I did not like Jane at all and found it incredibly hard to connect with Dallas. I don’t even care about the other women and the fact that they are brother and sister. I felt so disconnected from the hot sex scenes, the mystery, and the kidnapping that happened to them as kids. There was no excitement. I just didn’t like it.
Awesome read J Kenner never disappoints her readers.
Dallas Sykes is a renowned playboy with an impenetrable heart, he knows exactly what he wants and has no qualms about asking women for it… he craves their undivided attention in the bedroom, with the understanding that is the only part of him that they’ll ever have. He doesn’t do relationships, mainly because he doesn’t have it in him to give that part of himself to someone else, or the ability to trust them, so he settles for meaningless nights between the sheets making women’s wildest fantasies come true. He hides behind his moniker The King of Fuck, and keeps everyone at an arms length… including the one person who knows him better than anyone, his “sister” Jane. They share an incredibly disturbing past, and it’s bonded them in ways no one will ever understand… it’s a dirty little secret that they just aren’t ready to share.
From the moment I started this read I was completely hooked, and the completely mesmerized by enigmatic billionaire playboy Dallas Sykes, he commanded my undivided attention from start to finish! After reading the synopsis for this one I suspected I was about to dive into a red hot read, and MY OH MY WAS IT EVER!! The minute Dallas stepped onto the page things started to smolder, and with each page I swiped the hotter things got, and the harder I fell for the sexy billionaire with a VERY naughty side!! This was my first book by this author, and I have to say she made one hell of a first impression, and earned herself a spot on my go-to authors list!! This story was HOT! HOT! HOT!, and devoured every delectable piece of it in one sitting, and can’t wait to submerse myself into the next book in the series!!
Intense, exciting, and intriguing are words describing Kenner’s plot line in this spin-off from her Stark series novels. Her characters are sexy and strong but tortured, complicated and appealing. Their desires are deep and forbidden although not ignored. A reader can’t help but root for Dallas and Jane to turn their desperate relationship into a HEA conclusion. I loved the original story and look forward to Kenner’s next two novels about these torrid lovers.
boring
