    About this ebook

     

    Duncan McAllister just found out he needs to marry before his 33rd birthday, which is only four weeks away.

    This shouldn't be a problem for someone like him. There are women dying to marry the drop-dead gorgeous billionaire, but he only wants Charlotte.

    Friends since childhood, he trusts her. And secretly loves her.

    Charlotte can't find a job. Her controlling father has blackballed her all over town with the hopes she'll come home and beg him for help. She's appalled by Duncan's proposal but she's about to lose her apartment.

    And she's been crushing on him since she was 12 years old.

    But with everything riding against them can they still find a happily ever after?

    Of course, it's a romance!

      Marry Me - Matilda Martel

      Prologue

      C harlotte Travers? Charlotte Travers? The hiring manager raises her voice to catch the interviewee’s attention watching her thumb through notes on a legal pad. Her heart stings. This is a nonsense meeting. 

      I’m Charlotte! I’m ready! She smiles big and jumps to her feet.  

      Her naïve optimism makes her stomach churn with guilt. The girl’s credentials are unimpeachable. She is a summa cum laude from Columbia University, and she’s earned her way into the Ivy League with an academic scholarship, not her father’s money. 

      Miss Travers, I’m Rebecca Ivers. I know your father well. The manager escorts Charlotte back to her office. 

      Miss Ivers, I didn’t list my father as a reference. I don’t want any special favors or advantages. The job description fits my qualifications---that’s the only reason I applied. I hope my father didn’t speak to you. He and I don’t talk, and I don’t know how he found out I applied.  

      Charlotte wrings her hands, promptly tucking them under her thighs to keep them still. She detests nepotism, and unlike her older sisters, she’s fought hard to eke out her way since high school. 

      Please don’t concern yourself, Charlotte. I recognized your name, and Mr. McAllister told me you were Jason Travers’ daughter. Her throat clenches with remorse. She shouldn’t have allowed the board to bully her into hiring a less-qualified candidate simply because he’s the CFO’s son. 

      Oh, Duncan, I didn’t know he took over so soon. I haven’t seen him in ages. Oh, that’s not true, I saw him at his father’s funeral a few weeks ago, but it was such a horrible day. Forgive me. Please continue with the interview. I’m rambling and being unprofessional. Charlotte sits up straight and hands Miss Ivers a fresh copy of her resume. She spent extra money having them professionally printed, but it will be worth it if she gets a respectable job. 

      The interview lasts thirty minutes, and by the end, Rebecca fights to maintain eye contact. She’s overly competent for a twenty-one-year-old girl. Charlotte’s quick, bright, with an impeccable work ethic and some of the best ideas to come through her office in years. She should have canceled the interview beforehand and not wasted the poor girl’s time. 

      Well, Charlotte, I’ll have to review the other candidates and the nominees with the board, but thank you so much for your time today. If you don’t get this position for some reason, I will keep you in mind for others that may open up. She smiles and escorts the candidate out of her office. 

      Charlotte’s sunny expression fades. She’s familiar with the loser’s speech.  

      Thank you, Miss Ivers. It was a pleasure meeting you. 

      Biting her lip to keep it from trembling, she exits the office, confident she won’t hear from her again.

      Chapter 1

      Charlotte

      C harlotte! Hey, Charlotte! Trudging towards the elevators, I hear a familiar voice. 

      My eyes widen, and I tense awkwardly when I see Duncan McAllister rushing toward me. In an unexpected move, he brings me into his arms in what I can only describe as a bear hug. 

      Duncan! Oh wow, how are you? Fighting to spring loose, I remain friendly. He’s in mourning. As much as
