About this ebook

His touch is her sin.

Her love is his salvation.

“J. Kenner knows how to deliver a tortured alpha that everyone will fall for hard. Saint is exactly the sinner I want in my bed.” Laurelin Paige, NYT bestselling author

"I went into this story thinking that J. Kenner could not create a better place than Stark World. … But boy was I wrong. From the very first interaction with Devlin the reader becomes instantly aware of the character's power and grace. With a plot that kept on changing and an awesome connection between Ellie and Devlin, J. Kenner has once again proved her writing skills with masterful story telling."-The Overflowing Bookcase

Charismatic. Confident. Powerful. Controlling.

A brilliant investor with a Midas touch, Devlin Saint turned a modest inherited fortune into billions, and now operates one of the world’s foremost international philanthropic organizations. He’s a man determined to help the underprivileged, to fight injustice, and to make the world a better place. And that, at least is true.

It’s not, however, the full truth.

Because Devlin Saint is a man with a dangerous secret. One he’ll do whatever it takes to protect. And when investigative reporter Ellie Holmes turns her attention to an unsolved murder, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and passion as Devlin draws her closer and closer. But as the intensity and sensuality of their relationship grows, so do Ellie’s suspicions. Until she is no longer certain if the heat between her and Devlin is real, or only a facade he constructed to hide his dark and twisted secrets.

Don’t miss this provocative first book in Devlin Saint's trilogy...

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic new series! So much passion, hurt and secrets. Can the truth bring Ellie closure? Will it put her ghosts to bed? My Fallen Saint had it all. My heart pounded as the storyline progressed and my curiosity was pushed even further with the last sentence. J Kenner is a master at writing great books that hold my attention and keeps me wanting more! A must read.

My Fallen Saint Fallen Saint #1 J. Kenner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Oohh this isn’t going to be an easy review to write, as any comment, thought even words can give to much away. I have to say this story will grip you from the first chapter, Devlin Saint (in name only) is a man with a secretive past, but his future is very bright, as owner of a very successful philanthropy business. Using a modest trust he now helps the worlds underprivileged and fight for their rights… He’s the man for everybody, a saint as such. Ellie Holmes has had an awful upbringing, between losing her parents, then her uncle and the only man she loved. She left Laguna Cortez, her job as a cop and is now a reporter for The Sprall, now she’s returning to Laguna Cortez with one thing in her mind… solving the murder of her uncle, while reporting on on DSF and the man himself. What Ell didn’t expect was her past rearing it’s head…. Researching Devlin Saint is one thing, but when she uncovers more about the man she can’t deny the emotions he brings out in her… getting close isn’t an option in his eyes, but Ell finds comfort in the man. But he has secrets, ones that can not only destroy everything she’s working for, but herself… prepare for the ride of your life! You’ll want to finish this straight away while holding onto its story! I don’t want to have to wait till January for book 2 in this series…. I’ll be waiting!!!

4.25 stars--MY FALLEN SAINT is the first instalment in J. Kenner’s contemporary, adult FALLEN SAINT erotic, romantic, suspense series focusing on former police officer turned investigative journalist Ellie Holmes, and billionaire investor Devlin Saint. Told from first person perspective (Ellie Holmes) MY FALLEN SAINT follows investigative journalist Ellie Holmes, ten years after the murder of her uncle Peter, a return home to Laguna Crotez that brings with it too many memories of the past, and of a loss that still hurts to present day. When the police reopen the investigation into her uncle’s murder, Ellie is hoping to uncover the truth, but what Ellie never expected was to come face to face with reclusive billionaire investor Devlin Saint, a man tied closely to Ellie’s past. What ensues is the building relationship between Ellie and Devlin, and the potential fall-out when the truth about the who, how and what of Devlin Saint is revealed. The relationship between Ellie and Devlin begins acrimoniously as Devlin struggles to avoid Ellie and her investigative questions, questions that are now directed at our story line ‘hero’…Devlin’s philanthropic adventures help men, women and children who have been victims of human trafficking but Devlin knows more about Ellie’s past than he is willing to reveal, a revelation that will destroy the woman with whom he is falling in love. A business weekend in Vegas finds our couple crossing the proverbial line, a line that now places both of them in the direct line of fire. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Ellie’s best friend Brandy, and Detective Lamar Gage, as well as Devlin’s assistant Anna Lindstrom, and his friend / right hand man Ronan Thorne. MY FALLEN SAINT is a story of betrayal and vengeance; secrets and lies; heart break, tragedy, power, pain and revelations-revelations I predicted from the very start. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are broken and tragic. MY FALLEN SAINT ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
