DIRTIEST SECRET is the first book in the new S.I.N. Series that is part of the Stark International Series by J. Kenner and is quite different from any of the other books. This story is about a taboo relationship which will have all types of ramifications when it's revealed. Dallas Sykes goes to live with his Uncle Eli when his father dies. Eli marries Lisa and adopts her daughter Jane. Wanting to blend the family he also adopts Dallas -- thereby making Dallas and Jane sister and brother.

After noticing the closeness between the siblings Eli makes the decision to send Dallas off to boarding school. But before that happens Dallas and Jane are kidnapped. During those weeks of captivity Dallas and Jane cling to each other and give into feelings that have been festering. Even though there is no blood relationship between Dallas and Jane by law they are considered siblings. When this relationship becomes public what will be the outcome? How will the family react and what if any legal ramifications will result when it becomes public.

The title DIRTIEST SECRET has multiple meaning. Not just from what appears to be an incestuous relationship but also the secrets that are tied to the kidnapping of Dallas and Jane. Dallas and a few of his friends have formed a secret organization called Deliverance because he is determined to find out who and what was behind their kidnapping.

Knowing that being together is considered wrong Dallas and Jane try to keep a distance. But being around each other just brings all those feelings up again. To cope with what happened during their captivity both Dallas and Jane engaged in situations to try to forget. They will each learn some of the dark things that happened during their captivity. There is still the question of why they were kidnapped and who was behind it. Is it because they come from a wealthy family or something darker? Dallas and Jane will experiment with these feelings. Just how far will they take things?

Book Summary

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 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.
