Delightful story...I really enjoyed the surprises that Matthew left Rita. A few twist and turns, ending with a great HEA.
Beauty and the beast
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Brilliant heart surgeon Dr. Matthew Grayson comes from very old Boston money. As a ten year old, he was mauled by a lion, which left him with one side of his face badly scared. Being shunned by the other children after his accident left him with his soul badly scared. His standoffish attitude at the hospital has earned him the reputation of being quite the beast.Rita Barone is a beauty who comes from new Boston money. Although she could work in the family ice cream business, she has wanted to be a nurse since getting a toy nurse kit as a child. Her sweet, caring personality is a real asset when working with patients in the cardiac unit of the hospital. Matthew secretly has a crush on Rita but never believes anyone as beautiful as her would give him a chance. He buys her several presents that he anonymously leaves in her mail slot at work. When Rita finds the presents, she's uncomfortable with them. Are they from a secret admirer or a stalker? Meanwhile, Rita is able to see behind Matthew's scars and surly attitude and is very attracted to the man beneath them. When she needs an escort to a Barone family function, she asks Matthew. When they are finally out of the work setting,the sparks begin to fly. The relationship between Matthew and Rita sizzles.
