Publisher Description
The S.I.N. series continues with the seductive follow-up to the Stark International Novel Dirtiest Secret, from the New York Times bestselling author of “red-hot and angsty” fiction that “keeps readers guessing” (Publishers Weekly, on Under My Skin).
No one can know about our love—and hiding only makes it hotter.
Dallas Sykes has a reputation. He is known for his parties, his money, and the countless women on his arm. Yet the Dallas I know is a different man—darker, smarter, and unbearably sexy. Just one look from him can leave me breathless; the anticipation of his touch can make me lose control.
Inextricably bound by our past, we keep each other’s secrets. And while there are people who have the power to hurt us, it’s the truth that threatens us most of all.
Dallas can be mine only behind closed doors, our passion as searing as it is forbidden. Yet nothing in this world has ever felt so desperately, deliciously right.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kenner keeps readers guessing in this pulse-pounding erotic suspense tale, the second (after Dirtiest Secret) in the Stark International Novel (SIN) trilogy. Underneath Dallas Sykes's playboy exterior beats the heart of a deeply damaged man. He's felt a pervasive darkness since being kidnapped as a teenager and sexually tortured by someone he knows only as the Woman. She also kidnapped Jane, his adoptive sibling and the only woman he truly loves. Because of the family bond, Jane and Dallas can't outwardly act on their attraction. In addition, Dallas is keeping powerful secrets from Jane, including the possible identity of their kidnapper. When Jane finds out he's been less than forthcoming, their love may not survive his deception. Kenner's deft plotting and enticing characterization bring the story to a frustrating cliffhanger.

5 FLAMING HOT & FORBIDDEN STARS!
NOTE: This is not a standalone. You must read Dirtiest Secret first.
Holy mother of forbidden romance stories! I love it when the characters are down in the gutter kind of dirty. The story pushes the boundaries on the forbidden, yet it doesn't go so far as to turn you off from the taboo elements. What happens in this book? Let's see.....Dallas gets some of his "mojo" back and some skeletons fall out of the closets. There is also a lot of secrets. Some from Dirtiest Secret are revealed, but the biggest and baddest secrets are yet to be revealed. My mind is working overtime trying to figure them out and I'm dying to see if I'm right, or if Julie Kenner is going to blindside me with something I never saw coming. This story is intriguing, intense and has all my senses on fire.
