Halfway There/Susan Mallery/47 pgs.

In this novella, Susan Mallery introduces the reader to Fayrene Hopkins, a 24 year old with a plan. She wants to own her business, with employees, in four years. Nothing is going to come between Fayrene and her goal, until she meets Ryan Patterson. He's only in town in a temporary position, so what harm could there be in having a short term romance? It's an entertaining lead into one of Mallery's full length trilogies.
