No-nonsense consumer psychologist, Sienna Lambert, moderates focus groups to assist her clients with marketing their products to target audiences. Her newest client, Dexter Clothiers, has developed state-of-the-art men’s undergarments Best Kept Secrets that become more comfortable the longer they’re worn. Sienna interviews men from all professions and walks of life to get their opinion on the line.

When adrenaline junkie Vaughn Deveraux meets Sienna, he takes her breath away—literally. After a run-in at a client softball outing, Sienna assumes Vaughn is one of the new models for Dexter Clothiers.
