About this ebook
Understaffed, overworked, and generally exhausted contractor Ricci DeAngelo still has to contend with a long subway ride at the end of each day. The last thing he expects is to fall head long into a relationship while dozing on the train. But that’s exactly what happens when a sexy and equally exhausted stranger falls asleep on his shoulder one night.
Ricci’s nap partner ends up being Layton Callis, an equally overworked pâtissier who looks and smells good enough to eat. When they unexpectedly fall into a routine of napping together on the late train, Ricci finds himself in a unique position. He can continue only seeing Layton during the week and spending his weekends in a sleepless mess. Or Ricci can step up and see if he can get Layton to agree to wake up next to him on a more permanent basis.

Chapter One
Ricci slumped down in his seat as the day finally caught up with him. He’d spent hours out in the sun hauling materials and overseeing the construction of the building his company was working on. Ever since Aldo, his site manager, had left him high and dry, Ricci had ran himself ragged in an effort to stay on top of the paperwork and other problems that always arose on a build site. On top of that, he’d let one of his guys drive his truck, and Drake had somehow managed to total the fucking thing. Ricci was pissed about the truck, but he was undeniably thankful that Drake had managed to walk away from the crash without a scratch. That still didn’t change the fact that Ricci would have to ride the subway until he could get another vehicle.
The only problem was that almost all of his money was tied up in either the new job site or the house he’d finally broken down and bought. As he was currently in the middle of restoring said house, a new truck wasn’t in the cards for him at the moment. Ricci knew he could get one easily on credit or through a bank loan, but after growing up poor and living hand to mouth through college, the idea of having yet another monthly bill before the current job he was on was fully settled didn’t sit well with him.
He knew he could have gotten Drake to give him a ride, out of guilt if for no other reason, or he could have asked one of his other men to take him home each night. Odds were they would have been glad to. The crew he employed were all close and got along fairly well, but he lived a good distance away from both his main office and the current building site. His house was all the way on the outer edge of the city, and the idea of asking one of them to go so far out of their way every day until he got himself sorted out was something he’d been reluctant to do. The majority of his men had families, and he’d never felt right keeping any of them out longer than absolutely necessary. So, instead, he’d resigned himself to an undetermined amount of long, exhausting
