A Christmas Carousel Proposal
by Cari Lynn Webb, Melinda Curtis
This clean romance kicks off the 2018 anthology written by Harlequin Heartwarming romance authors.
Lisa Garland has big plans for her grandparents’ wedding anniversary on December 24th — the grand opening of Carousel House, featuring a fully-restored carousel in downtown Christmas Town. She doesn’t expect the company restoring the carousel to go bankrupt or the only man available to help her make the deadline for her grandparents’ anniversary to be her ex-fiance.
A decade ago, John Richardson walked away from Lisa for her own good. He’s tried hard not to look back. But now Lisa needs a miracle and John might just be the only man who can deliver it. If only he can keep his undying love for her a secret. He’s scheduled to return to duty on December 25, so all he needs to do is organize volunteers to finish the carousel and keep his heart under lock and key. But love has a way of opening doors and hearts, and John’s holiday season may not go as planned.
A Christmas Carousel Proposal introduces many of the characters in the 12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas series, which begin the week after John proposes to Lisa. Six romances feature Lisa’s bridesmaids and six feature heroes working on the carousel. All full-length novels end on Christmas Eve.

Cari Lynn Webb's Bio
A non-stop flight from Honolulu to Chicago. A quick stop at the airport bookstore and Cari Lynn Webb discovered her love for romance. She cannot recall the book she bought, but she does remember finishing it somewhere over California, feeling pleased the murderer had been arrested (justice had prevailed). But frustration reigned as Cari searched for a hidden chapter or missed epilogue that would show the heroine and the FBI agent she'd fallen in love with living their happily-ever-after. (Surely love conquered all.) Except not in that particular book. Another trip to the bookstore in her grandparents' home town and Cari discovered an entire section of books dedicated to the happily-ever-after. There she found Kathleen Woodiwiss, Judith McNaught and then Nora Robert ... and she became a life-long romance reader. Cari's passion for reading had not dimmed years later when she found herself newly married and inside another bookstore during her lunch break. But the shelves of happily-ever-afters surrounding her couldn't stem her frustration at not being able to find a new historical romance (Amazon wasn't the household name it would become). So like any dedicated reader, Cari drove back to work, opened a word document and began to write the historical she wanted to read. Months later, she printed the manuscript, presented it to her husband and asked if she should pursue acting or continue writing. With her husband's full support, she continued writing... and now she feeds her passion for romance with a stack of to-be read paperbacks in her nightstand, multiple downloads on her kindle and her own stories. Cari believes in the power of love simply because she'd grown up surrounded by true love. She remembers her grandparents holding hands when she visited them as a kindergartner and still holding hands when her grandmother whispered her final goodbyes to her grandfather after 70 years together. Cari's parents have been married over 50 years. And Cari is blessed to have married her own hero. She will be the first to tell you that true love isn't always sweet and perfect, it can be challenging, complicated and risky. But in the end, there is nothing more worth fighting for.
