Chapter One
âYou think one of us is the Fixer?â Luc asked his mother. âYeah, right.â
âIt has to be one of you chosen ones,â Elana shouted from the doorway of Harrisonâs hospital room and marched out into the hallway, with the family right behind her. Her three-inch red-soled heels popped like gunfire against the winter-white marble floors. Now that she had everyoneâs full attention, she pranced in front of her brothers, tossing her hair along with her accusations. âWe all know I canât be trusted to do anything.â She flashed an accusatory look at her mother, which Mariella promptly ignored.
âDonât be ridiculous,â Rafe sputtered, ignoring his sisterâs typical outburst. âHow could it be one of us?â
âRidiculous! Is that what you call some behind-the-scenes person manipulating our fucking livesâridiculous? Thatâs the best response you can come up with, little brother?â Luc snarked.
Rafe swung his body toward Luc and got within inches from his face. âAre you the Fixer, Luc? I wouldnât put it past you.â
âFuck you.â
Mariella stepped between her warring sons. She pressed her hand against Rafeâs chest and then Lucâs. âStop! You are brothers. Act like it.â
Not put off by his motherâs intervention, and still ticked off from his fight with Rafe, Luc emitted an incredulous chuckle. âObviously, Dadâs accident has taken its toll on you, if you think for a moment the Fixer could possibly be me. I barely have enough hours in the day to manage my practice without looking for ways to screw over my own family!â
âYou could have fooled me,â Elana piped in, wanting to keep stirring the pot of discontent. âYouâve always been the one who thinks he knows best about everything and everyone. Maybe you fix lives like you do body parts. You never had a problem telling me what to do and what you think about what I do.â
âSomebody has to,â Luc threw back.
Elanaâs dark hair showered her bare shoulders as she tossed her head back and laughed. âTypical. You always have to be right.â
âEnough!â
All eyes turned toward the command and seemed to notice Joe for the first time.
âFor Christâs sake,â he hissed. He gestured angrily to the room behind them, glared from one to the next and stepped in between the warring factions. âWeâre in a hospital, and I donât care how private and secret it isâpeople have ears. Not to mention that your father is just a few feet away.â
Mariella blinked back her surprise. Sheâd never heard Joe raise his voice higher than a burst of laughter, nor had she ever seen that steely look in his eyes.
âFor your motherâs sake,â he added with more calm, and settled his focus on Mariella.
Mariellaâs tanned cheeks flushed. She pulled her imported Italian lace shawl tighter around her narrow shoulders.
âAt least letâs get out of the hallway and go into the reception room for privacy,â Joe suggested.

The hot air slowly seeped from the room as the family split off to their respective corners, duly chastised.
Joe moved closer to Mariella, placed a firm hand of comfort on her shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze. She looked up into Joeâs eyes for reassurance. He gave her a short nod.
