The Mysterious Merry-Go-Round — Marilyn Prather

When Ariele Harwood learns that she has inherited eerie Sheldrake Manor, her Great-Aunt Elizabeth's former home, her first thought is to sell the property.

But Ariele has counted on the charms of Van Caulfield, the handsome, motorcycle-riding attorney who is executor of the estate. Though Van's suggestion that she turn the manor into a bed-and-breakfast inn intrigues Ariele, she is more troubled by her intense attraction to the attorney.

The unexpected discovery of a carousel on the estate draws Ariele closer to Van and leads her to uncover a tragic secret from her aunt's past. At the same time, spooky happenings around the manor convince Ariele that someone is trying to frighten her into leaving Sheldrake.

Who is threatening Ariels's life? Will she learns the perpetrator's identity before he can do her harm? And can she free herself from the haunting memories that keep her from wholly giving her heart to Van?
