The possibility that in the mass range around $10^{-12} M_odot$ most of dark matter constitutes of primordial black holes (PBHs) is a very interesting topic. To produce PBHs with this mass, the primordial scalar power spectrum needs to be enhanced to the order of 0.01 at the scale $ksim 10^{12} text{Mpc}^{-1}$. The enhanced power spectrum also produces large secondary gravitational waves at the mHz band. A phenomenological delta function power spectrum is usually used to discuss the production of PBHs and secondary gravitational waves. Based on G and k inflations, we propose a new mechanism to enhance the power spectrum at small scales by introducing a non-canonical kinetic term $[1-2G(phi)]X$ with the function $G(phi)$ having a peak. Away from the peak, $G(phi)$ is negligible and we recover the usual slow-roll inflation which is constrained by the cosmic microwave background anisotrpy observations. Around the peak, the slow-roll inflation transiently turns to ultra slow-roll inflation. The enhancement of the power spectrum can be obtained with generic potentials, and there is no need to fine tune the parameters in $G(phi)$. The energy spectrum $Omega_{GW}(f)$ of secondary gravitational waves have the characteristic power law behaviour $Omega_{GW}(f)sim f^{n}$ and is testable by pulsar timing array and space based gravitational wave detectors.
