BARONESSA GELATERIA in Bostonâs North End
In addition to our regular flavors of Italian gelato, this month we are featuring:
Rita reveled in her secret admirerâs delightful surprisesâa pewter heart pin, silver charm bracelet and crystal heart paperweight. The trinkets touched her, but made her wonder: Just who was the mysterious gift giver?
Chocolate loversâ supreme
In dark suits that outlined his masculine physique, chestnut-haired Dr. Matthew Grayson was near perfection, the epitome of a refined, tasteful man. Why, then, did he bring out the earthy, naughty side of nurse Rita?
One kiss⦠That was all Rita wanted. Just to feel Matthewâs lips against hers and to fantasize about him taking her innocence. But when she kissed him, the brooding doctor stole more than just her virtueâ¦.
Buon appetito!

Elizabeth Bevarly
For Gail Chasan.
Thanks for the memories (and so much more).
For nurses everywhere.
(Especially my favorite, Lisa Dobson.)
was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and earned her B.A. with honors in English from the University of Louisville in 1983. Although she never wanted to be anything but a novelist, her career side trips before making the leap to writing included stints working in movie theaters, restaurants, boutiques and a major department store. When sheâs not writing, Elizabeth enjoys old movies, old houses, good books, whimsical antiques, hot jazz and even hotter salsa (the music, not the sauce). She resides with her husband and young son in Kentucky.

There was no disputing the fact that surly Boston winters tended to slow things down in the emergency rooms of the cityâs hospitals. But that only meant it wasnât standing room only, Rita Barone thought as she gazed at the still-bustling E.R. this bitter early February morning. There was plenty here to keep the staff busy. Certainly enough to make her wish she hadnât picked up the shift to help out one of the other nurses. Normally, she worked in the coronary care unit, which was a walk in the park compared to the E.R. Still, Rita had started in the E.R. at Boston General, so in a way, this was like coming home.
At home, though, she didnât have to treat overblown cold sores and ingrown toenails. No, when Rita went homeâhome to the big Beacon Hill townhouse where sheâd grown up, and not the North End brownstone she shared with two of her sistersâher parents pampered her like a princess. In fact, she could be living the life of a princess at this very moment had she chosen, since each of the Barone siblings had collected a million-dollar trust upon turning twenty-one. But Rita, crazy as it might sound, had wanted to be a nurse instead of a princess. Now, after almost three years of employment at Boston General, she knew she had made the right choice. Princesses, she knew, hardly ever saved lives. Plus, they didnât have nearly as good a health plan as she did.
